CA automotive get them in from turner in the usa, they done an order for me a while back. I think they charged me £30 inc postage to my door, Roy at CA did order more than one set and did have at least one set on the shelf in the uk. They are different for e36/e46 racks, and on the kit i ordered (e46) the spacer are different colours as each end is a slightly different size. When fitted i found it restricted the steering too much and got a perfect balance cutting them in half. Berore you ask, Dave the goat had similar issues and i gave him the other halves. You could just get them machined up at a local machine shop, they are just a round disc that limit the steering according to how wide they are. I ended up with about an 8mm disc each side. GL

thanks will speak to CA automotive

Am sure I had read that you could cut them in half

only reason I need them is that the mot chap says my wheels touch the wheel wells - better having them fitted that damaging a tyre.

You just need a man with a lathe and a lump of nylon
