I'm interested too. Not interested enough to remove a spacer from an
IN-14 and install it on a IN-8-2, but still...
I always found that if an IN-14's spacer came off it was a real pain to
put it back on again. At least, not without trimming a few leads.

I like the upside down 5...speaks to the history of the tubes and the
apparent necessity of cost savings! I have an IN-8-2 clock without
spacers with LED underlighting and it looks pretty good (personal
preference though...).
Post some pictures when you're done...would be interested in seeing
the IN-8-2 atop spacers...

Hi Adam,
LOL horrible 4, Nothing beats that degenerate upside down 5. The
IN82 4 is slightly bigger vertically and doesn't over lap the
horizontal portion, So yeah its not perfect...... Personal
preference in the end.
Why the spacers? Because it looks more professional and clean. No
to mention if one wanted to add floor lighting to a tube it would
shine up into the tube and now flood the entire PCB.
No way I will use the IN8 pins, That's the whole reason I opted
for IN8-2.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!

Well, Sure, minus the upside down 2 for a 5. :) But plus the
HORRIBLE 4

I like the 5's in the IN-8-2's, but the 4's are bad enough that I
switched back to IN-14's back in the day.
Now, neither of those nixie tubes are cheap enough for me to
use in new
designs. All of my stockpile of IN-8's, IN-8-2's, IN-14's and
IN-16's
are replacement parts only for existing clocks.
Why do you want spacers for your IN-8-2's, anyways? They
didn't come
with them. I'd skip the spacers and go with IN-8's and sockets
if that
is the look you are going for. Granted, sockets for the IN-8 can
sometimes be difficult to find. I think it was the IN-2 that
uses the
same socket. Socketed Nixie tubes are a lot more fun to deal
with when
replacing.
