What the devil is a "distance piece" ?
Is that what yanks call a "spacer"

Thanks!

The more I say the word distance to myself the weirder it sounds.

Anyway, does this help: http://www.metrixvibration.com/Appli...mpressors.aspx

not northern lingo that!

I'd say it was a spacer to make sure a part sat in the correct place, or to maintain a set distance or gap, like between the rockers on a ohv engine or between a pull and bearing.

Just found this,

sounds completely different to what i was on about!

In what context is 'distance piece' mentioned?

[tbirdtbird]

"between a pull and bearing."

OK what is a "pull" ?

Context has to do with a bearing

and just found out y'all call a "curb" a "kerb"
