So steel stems & alloy spacers aren’t the same thickness - where can we get pieces steel spacer from, stainless so paint not necessary, in long sections for scoblestack goals? Framebuilders?

Guess some framebuilders might have stainless in stock in the same wall thickness you'd build a stem from but I can't really see why.

I use tubing with a .058" wall thickness to build steerer clamps for stems so its a lot heavier than frame tubing.

I've only found suitable steel spacers made by Nitto and impossible to get hold of here. Titanium alloy spacers are the same 31.8 OD, cheaper, and readily available on eBay, which is just silly.

EDIT: Very late to the party, but can confirm Nitto spacers are nice.
