Welding Spacer

Description

A welding spacer holds your bracket tabs at exact spacing while you weld. ORA’s welding spacer is CNC machined aluminum, available in four sizes to cover both common link tab and shock tab mounting widths.

How the Welding Spacer Works

Slide the spacer between the tabs before you strike an arc. It holds the correct gap while heat moves through the metal. That means when the brackets cool, your joint or shock eye drops straight in. No grinding, no fitting, no do-overs.

ORA machines all four spacers .010″ over their nominal size. Here’s why that matters. Welding heat causes steel to move and do funny things. So tab spacing can close or spread slightly after the weld. The .010″ oversize accounts for that so your spacing lands exactly where it needs to be when done.

Since the spacers are aluminum, they also help dissipate the heat while welding. Pull them out after and you can reuse the same spacer through an entire build — or across dozens of builds.

Sizes and Specs

Link Tab / Bracket — 2.000″ and 2.625″ with 9/16″ hole – Can be drilled larger

• 2.000″ — Nominal 2.000″, machined to 2.010″. Ideal for standard smaller rod ends and joint spacing.
• 2.625″ — Nominal 2.625″, machined to 2.635″. Ideal for the larger 1.25″ rod ends and flex joint spacing.

Shock / Coilover — 1.500″ and 1.600″ with 1/2″ hole – Can be drilled larger

• 1.500″ — Nominal 1.500″, machined to 1.510″. Designed for standard shock tab welding. Fits most King, Fox, Icon, Bilstein, and Radflo coilovers in this mounting width.
• 1.600″ — Nominal 1.600″, machined to 1.610″. Designed for ORIs odd mounting width.

What It Fits

Link Tab Applications

The 2″ and 2.625″ weld spacers cover the full range of 4-link, 3-link, and triangulated 4-link suspension fab. So if you’re welding link brackets or setting up a panhard, these cover both common bracket widths. They also work with rod ends, heim joints, Johnny Joints, poly bushings, and flex joints.

Shock and Coilover Applications

Plus, the 1.5″ and 1.6″ shock weld spacers cover the common shock mounting widths. That means coilovers, bypass shocks, air shocks, and ORIs all fit. Brands like King, Fox, Icon, Bilstein, and Radflo all fall into one of these two sizes. When you’re running coilovers on a 4-link build, the 1.5″ handles most setups. The 1.6″ is the one for ORI builds. If you need tabs check our our Basic tabs section
