After you have have sanded the spacer with a grit like 120, sand them with something thinner like 250-300 grit that way the spacers are smooth.

I think he wants to sand them for beefcake, that is the only mod that needs sanded spacers.

I just used 100 grit.

The gaps on my Speed Beetles were too wide. Sanding the spacers worked pretty quickly.

Look up “Raider Mod”, and you will see that a higher grit is used, and it is also suggested that you move the spacers in circles as opposed to straight lines.
