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.

.058"

That’s just a mind-bending anachro-number, what does it mean?! Nearly 6/10ths of an inch... I’m see what you’re saying: normal tubing could look too thin to marry up with a stem clamp... but I’d guess not as bad looking as massive thick alloy ones do.
