On my mk1 now I think of it there is a small spacer in my box of bits but I had forgot where they go, but the ones I have are only about 3mm thick I thought they went on top of the crossmember though so I may need to check it out before I finish the car they are shaped same as the lock plates that fit on top and have a layer of sealant on them

hi cliff i dont have any spacers only the one that act like a washer plate where you bolt it down. there is no other spacers as i diodnt have any when i stripped it. got a piccy of what i would need? cheers mate. 

Hi Tom

 

this is the spacer used on a MK3, it might be the same on a MK1 with dry suspension, but i am not 100 % sure.

(it says pre 1976)

Those are the spacers on my 1962 mk1, I also have studs and nuts holding subframe on not the long bolts as on later cars

For someone that couldent weld at the beginning of this project you are doing amazingly well, nice to see another mini being saved , well done , keep up all the good work !

thanks guys ile take a look in my box of bits i am sure tho there wasnt a spacer there as i would of put it with the studs. cheers tom 

[Daz1968]

Yes I double checked mine and I have a spacer similar to one in link available now, but mine is made up of a 3mm approx thick plate and a thinner plate spot welded to it, then I have the plate on top of crossmember with the locking tabs but again it is different to one available, mine has no hole in the centre and also has a sealant on underside to stop water getting inside the towers above the rubber cones. Hoping to fit my subframes soon then start putting the car together, can't wait. Although I haven't painted the doors and bonnet yet along with hinges and other odds and sods so still plenty to do, yours will look more like a car and give you a boost when the floors in.
