Lately I’ve been on a heavy FHZ kick and nostalgic revisitation of my love for them. BEEFCAKING! FTW!!

I have this lone brass thick Duncan spacer in my parts box and wanted to know more about these spacers that some are made in steel, aluminum, and brass!

Do the brass ones give any slight addition to weight in a FHZ? I’d love to know more history on these ones versus the other materials they come in.

I love my parts box, I’ve had it for a long time, I have all kinds of stuff here, I love putting dead pads and cork pads onto it just plastered inside the lids.

I don’t think there is any significance to the different materials. I think it was just a manufacturing design decision.

Weight is everything! I will test it! I am hunting for brass!

Pretty sure the Duncan Speedbeetle I had had those brass spacers in it.

The difference in colors was a way to differentiate thicknesses more than weight.
