Where do these spacers belong?

While reassembling the front suspension and crossmember, I got stumped on where this pair of spacers go.

Any ideas?

If the car is lowered, the steering rack.

I do believe the car is lowered. It's relatively new to me, and is my first 911, so I don;t have a lot to go on.

Would these go between the body and the steering rack?

Between the crossmember and steering rack, 2 bolts. You should find the bolts are to long without the spacers.

If I had had a quarter in my pocket, it would've been a better option.

Nothing other than this one taken the day i bought it. I bought it (no PPI of course) only to find the front left suspension pan was pretty much missing. I have since done a great job of disassembling the car to get an idea of the extent of the damage.

Saving grace is I bought it right, even given the damage...
I'm now partially reassembling so it can be rolled to a place with more talent than me.

It looks like the spacers for the A/C crash bar.

+1. Those go on the condenser crash bar. Just had mine apart a couple months back.
