For a real quick and easy fix to the short kit on a single stage press, I found that I could make one out of plexiglas/Lexan for next to nothing. First, I removed the shell holder because I didn't really need it as the tooling centered the hull anyhow. Next, I made a "U" shaped cut in the plexiglass to fit around the support column of the press. Then I marked the holes to be drilled in the spacer where they are done on the press base and drilled them. The large return spring (around the column) just holds the spacer in place. I used 1/8" for loading 2-5/8" shells and 1/4" for any 2-1/2" shells that I load.
