Actually, I think Star only made aluminum spacers.....but
The spacers to convert a "00" powder slide housing to a 5/8" housing are .3125" or 5/16"
A "00" powder slide housing is nominally 5/16", so 5/16" plus 5/16" equals 10/16" which is 5/8"
;D

Thanks rbwillnj
When I reloaded for the Shreveport Police Pistol Team (1960), I purchased ' 1/2" ' and ' 5/8" ' Powder slides... :)
I don't remember if Spacers came with the Powder Slides, But they were Brass.. :D
I recently found a set for the ' 1/2" ' Powder Slide.....
It would behoove you to make a SPACER SET for a ' 5/8" ' Powder Slide..... ;D
PLEASE ;)
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.. :) :)
Oh, by the way you Guys 'rbwillnj' make this neat Kit for 1/2" Powder Slides......... ;D

I have a new in the box 1/2" Star charge bar(14.8 gr-2400) that was delivered with spacers that are either aluminum or white metal not brass and I also have several other sets that are the same. I also have a 5/8 charge bar housing that is stamped 5/8" not OOOO.

It's very possible Star made Brass and or aluminum (white) Spacers..............
Again, the ones I received from Star were Brass.........
Star only Stamped '0' and '00' on their Powder Housing Bases...
Barrel tester (Richard Daniels) started the '000' and '0000' designations, '000' for 1/2"
and '0000' for 5/8".........
