3.5 swap waiting on cam spacers, specs, where to find?

Ok, everything is finally underway, got my engine, my exedy clutch, and now I'm just missing the cam spacers. Any idea if I can just pick some up at a local parts store? Does anyone know what size the spacers have to be? In the sticky the pic says JWT spacers, do I have to order through them or can I get them elsewhere?

Thats all thats left, if I had them today, teh project would be finished tomorrow..
Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks for the help, I've sent him a pm, I was just hoping that I would luck out and there would be a fast way for me to get them so the project could finish sooner. Guess I'll just have to wait a few more days...

So I called JWT, and the guy on the phone said they had quarter inch spacers that people use when the use the 3.5 cams on the 3.0, $34 a pair... I told him I'm swapping in the whole 3.5, not putting those cams on the 3.0, so I'm not sure he's talking about the spacers I need.... anyone have an idea? Thought I'd make sure before ordering them...

Those are the ones you need. Swapping 3.5 cams into a 3.0 = using 3.5 cams in a 3.5 with 3.0 timing equipment. You need the same spacers for both situations. But why not get it from stephen max and support an invaluable maxima pioneer?

The spacers are more like an 1/8th of an inch. And I thought they wouldn't sell those spacers to individuals???
