e36 rack spacers

Post Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:01 pm

Hi guys,

I have been having so many problems trying to get this spacer made so I can finally get my e36 rack into my e30, and be damned with it!!! I cant have the manifold made up, whilst the rack isnt in - spacing issues, etc.

Does anyone know where I could have one made in the London area?

Cheers,

adil

You can use a stack of washers, at least temporeraly so you can start working on the manifold.
I made the spacers myself by cutting 2 pieces from a rectengelar section aluminum bar of the appropriate thickness and drilling a hole in each of them.

I used two Austin Mini/Metro 'A' Series engine manifold washers either side.
Two of them are just the right thickness and they can't go anywhere.

Adil, I'm about to have my rack spacers and coupling made.

Do you want me to get a price for them to make 2 of everything?
