Where can I buy one of those spacers that have the fins on them that go between your bowl and nozzle to take out the rotation of the water as it leaves the unit? Are they an AT part? or are they custom made.
Cheers Fritz

I havenīt seen spacers with fins or blades. The regular spacers are just a round piece of metal. Spacers are not an AT part. Only the wedges.

| I think the two part bowl that Rob C. had made has those fins might be some pics on our website somewhere?

| I built one for a Berkley, I didn't think AT had that problem (mine doesn't). I've seen cast alum. droop snoots with one divider down the middle.

| buellitt's rooster tail was fanning out, so we put a splitter down the nozzle. The water was still rotating in each half so it made two rooster tails. Then we built an eight blader, just an extension of the stator blades and it was like a firehose.
