I was given some Vaude panniers that are probably 20 years old. They're in great shape (only used 10 times or so) but they have spacers for an 8 mm rack and my racks are 10 mm. Vaude uses a different style of spacer now and doesn't sell the in the US anyway. So before I have my 13 year old teach me how to use a modern CAD program for our new 3D printer, does anyone have 10 mm spacers or know where I might find some? I'm looking for 6 (3 sets). Thanks for any help!
In the highly unlikely event that anyone needs these, my 13 year old daughter did a very nice job of designing and 3D printing exactly what I need to save these panniers. We'll send the file to anyone interested.
That's awesome 3D printing idea. I have a bb bracket guide for one of the frames that I can't get a replacement, and I'd hate to junk the frame just for a small plastic part.

Yeah, it's amazing what having a tech savvy 13 year old will help me to do. 😂 I was going to try to file out the old ones, which would have almost certainly come out uneven and caused rattling, etc. I even printed a few extras in case some crack or something.
TinkerCAD was easy to learn and now I'm planning to make all kinds of stuff. Like I needed another hobby.
