Spacers for gas can holder
What are the dimensions for the Gas can bracket/holder spacers? I would like to make me some. Also what diameter is the bolt that is used to hold it on with?

Spacers are listed in the M38 ORD9 on page 307 as G740-7375354 without dimensions.

The same spacers are listed in the M38A1 ORD9 on page 339 with dimensions.

The bolt size is listed on page 304 of the M38 ORD9.

Can they be made this cheaply? https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/produc ... pacer-set/
