Subframe Spacers

Post Wed Oct 09, 2013 9:26 am

Hi,

Can anyone let me have the specs for the spacer?

All i am really after is the size of the holes and the space between them.

Apparently the holes need to be two different sizes?

Cheers,

Rob

from the top of my head they are about 170mm apart from each other. (centre to centre)
one has to be slighly bigger as there is something like locating pin ish( not sure how should i call it) and if i remember that was 13mm?
bolts are with M 8 with 1.5 thread pitch.

wait for more reply's but im going to check it again over the weekend or next week.

Thanks LongR.

Real OEM says M10 x 65mm for each of the four bolts, but I have also read somewhere that they are M7 with two different lengths.

Hopefully someone can confirm.

I might have to wait till i have access to he car and drop the sub frame before drilling, but was hoping to have it all ready.

What do you need them for anyway.. i ran mine without spacers and it seemes fine.

Have read all of the different opinions about use or not to use.

I have the engine cover with the cut out for the coolant reservoir, this simplified the decision as looks awful without the reservoir (which I have). If I had a non cut out cover, then I would have gone without the spacers.

Thanks for the help.
