You have come to the right place Lisa. Relax, take a deep breath. You are among friends here. This is such a wonderful community of people here. You are welcome.
If anyone here can tell you what a PEEK spacer is for sure, it would be Slackawater. He is the master of all searches. But it looks to me to be part of a fusion.
