Hey D@vid,

I sort of ran over Tom's answer but he says you need additional spacers to make adjustables fit early cars. As you know the original spring plate was non-adjustable, so perhaps the extra thickness in the second adjustable plate needs to be accounted for.

Good luck

It's been a while, for me, but I recall that I needed 4-5 mm spacers to make the adjustables fit an early (this is a 1973?) car. Cylinder head washers did the trick, as I recall. All from distant memory, so don't pile on if I got wrong. All this to compensate for the greater thickness of the adjustable spring plates, compared with the originals.
