Default Axle spacers

I am installing a set of fatbob trees on my street bob this week or next. I already have the trees and a 1" wide glide axle. I am using my stock street bob hub. I have been talking to Vulcanworks for three months and am still waiting on some axle spacers and a rotor spacer. Does anyone know of another source for 1" wide glide conversion spacers? I dont need the whole kit, just twp axle spacers and a hub spacer. I have a tech drawing if anyone knows a place that can make them. The axle spacers are cone shaped to fill the space between the bearing and the fork, with a small rim to make contact with the bearing. I got specs and photos from an aussie forum member who made his own and they looked great on his bike. Trying to complete this job, and I am at the point now where I am waiting on one vender for the final piece. Anyone have any experience with Vulcanworks? Are the usually pretty responsive? Maybe I am just uaving bad luck getting ahold of them. Thanks.

Thanks. I called Hawg Halters and they are checking to see if they can sell me just the axle spacers and the brake rotor spacer. The parts I really want are tapered axle spacers. That would fill the gap in this picture:

So it would look like this:

Tat2u from the Aussie forum has a link to his mod here:

Any local machine shop should be able to turn down a set of spacers if you have the specs.

Thanks. I just send the spec sheet out to seven local machine shops. I am hoping one of them is able to do the job.
