Propane Bracket Spacer

74 Overlander. I am missing the spacer that goes between the top threaded piece that you crank down on and the lower notched piece that pushes down on the propane bottles.

Out of doors mart sells the threaded and the notched piece, but not the spacer that goes between them.

There's a picture of what I'm talking about here:

Anybody know what this part is called or where I might locate one?

On mine, I believe that the hold down was at the top of the collar not below.

It's called about six inches of aluminum or stainless steel tubing, and you can get it at a decent hardware store. Check to make sure that it's large enough inside diameter to go over your threaded hold-down rod.

Or, the easy way, per Die Hard Bow Tie, is to rearrange stuff like so:
