Spring plate cover spacer thickness?

[deathbyspoon]

I'm re-doing the rear suspension on my car, and trying to align the Elephant Racing ASP setup with the Polybronze Bushings in the process.

Somehow, when my car and it's parts were being transported, the spring plate cover spacers got lost.

Can somebody tell me how thick it is?

In the catalog, it looks like part 901-331-107-00



but mine goes on the rear most bottom...

Help?

Working on the same project.
That spacer is the same size as the other 3 spacers...it is designed to come out so you can properly adjust the spring plate/torsion bars.
I'm not at near my project but I can measure the removable spacer later tonight.

Thanks for the reply. The piece that came out of mine didn't have the wide flat end on it, just looked like one of these, but metal:

Look forward to measurement you come up with.

my 79 euro has a 16mm tall spacer

oh and mine is just like the photo of the cylinders...not tapered or flared either

Does it look like this?
Ahhh....the benefits of having your 911 apart in a million pieces
The height is 12 mm.

Just had my torsion bars out a few days ago on my 89 G50 and the lower spacer is just a common bushing like in Death's picture,no lip on it ...

Cheers !

Hey Phil. Thanks for chiming in!

I FOUND ONE! Only by accident...it ended up in a side pocket of my laptop bag somehow.



Anybody know of a place that stocks spacers like these off the shelf and that doesn't charge $19 like Porsche dealer?

Try Ace Hardware. Can use a washer to make up any small differences if there is any.

You could buy some 3/4 inch round metal rod stock,cut it to measure and drill a hole ...
I have pretty much every different sized tubing/rod laying around somewhere in the garage in case of emergencies !

Some auto parts places will carry various sized bushings/spacers as well.

Cheers !
