I just spoke to Chris Yesterday and he is aware of these issues. He has around half a dozen spacers on hand. Keep trying his phone number. He's trying to sort out the website issue but for now you would have to contact him by phone. Like many of us, he's not the spring chicken he once was and dealing with the changes in his life and his move has kept him occupied.
