Don't piss off the red guy
Does anyone know where to get the tiny little bolt used by DUB cranks on the non-drive side to pinch the threaded spacer to preload the bearings? thanks.

You mean this? I've lost them before and just ordered a new set with the screw

Hold crap, $35 bucks for that ring? Oh wait they have purple, dammit, shouldn't have looked...
 
I have two aluminum DUB spacers that I bought from China as 30mm and got a full refund for them, you can have them but not before the end of the month…

You can also swap to a metal one. It seems like it's up your alley @tonyride

Has anyone installed one of these?

The instructions call for fully removing/detaching the stock plastic thread from the spindle and then super gluing the CC aluminum inner ring in its place. I have a bottle of loctite 853 (or something like that?) which is supposedly for preventing rotation like this case.

Anyway just curious if anyone can share their experience before I destroy a perfectly good crank.

Loctite is super hard to remove from a blind "press" if you can't actually pull the thing off. Superglue will work 90% as well in this instance, and you can soak it out with acetone, if necessary. Pressfit retaining compound is overkill, here; the threads aren't holding any real force, just keeping them from spinning while you use the part as a screw-jack to take up empty space.

If you were so inclined, you can just use spacers/shims/wavy washers. Would need two metal shims to surround the wavy washer, since it wasn't designed natively for it.
