You know. The one that slides in the grommet. I somehow managed to loose one. They are still available, but I hate to buy 3 when all I need is one. Not to mention stupid shipping on top of that.
If you have any spares lying around, the missing one is 10mm long.

I wish I could delete this post --- but I can't. I think the author ought to have that option.
Never mind on the spacer. I ordered them.

Re: One silly oil tank stand off sleeve
Isn't that the way? I was looking for the oil pump cable adjuster and found a little bag with three oil tank standoffs / spacers. Had 2, found 3 and ordered 3. Now I have 8! 
Of course I never found the cable adjuster. I know I have it because I remember removing it and cleaning it up.

You think you're bad now?
Wait another 10 years and you will think that 'now' is great and your memory was excellent 'back then'.
Don't ask me how I know that..........

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: One silly oil tank stand off sleeve
They sell all kinds of different diameter aluminum tubing in different lengths on Ebay. Simply order the diameter you need and cut the lengths using a tube cutter. I replaced all of the original steel ones that are zinc coated as a few were coated with rust. It's a lot cheaper also with tubing to spare.
