    M12 high misalignment spacers - where to source? I can find M14 to M12 reducer versions from where other users have sourced parts from (have read all the relevant posts that I can find) but cannot find anything online, ebay, AliExpress etc. Do they exist and if so any idea on where to find them? Also what size metal rod do people run between the motor lever and the back of the seat for a seat mover shoulder set up? I am struggling with trying to keep a consistent M12 sizing for all parts. Thanks.

    Thanks. I found those as well but did not want to end up with m14 size ends as i have m12 threaded rod to connect to. I also sent a message to that seller the other day to check if they sold just m12 but know luck. May have to change to m14 threaded rod or get a connector to reduce back down again.
