Series 1 radiator top support spacers

tim wood · Post by **tim wood** » Tue Feb 23, 2016 7:31 pm

Hi, I think I am missing the spacer parts (bd25765) which go under the arms that attach the top of the radiator to the frame and header tank.

I'm thinking that rather than buy some I could turn them up from nylon.

Does anyone know the dimensions?

Thanks (I know it's a long shot)

Tim,

I'm in the garage and don't have catalogues handy. Is this the part?

I have a S2 so it might be different on mine.

Around 15/16mm o/a diameter and around 6/7mm thick I recall....was looking at some on a car at the London Classic show on Saturday

About 20 feet to the garage.

The ones on mine are 5/8" by 1/4" high and have a 5/16" hole in them.

Well, thanks to all. I'm astonished by the number and detail of the replies to my question. I really did think I was having to buy some just to get the sizes.

This forum is fantastic-

Regards to all
Tim

They are nylon spacers in close metric sizes.

I,ll find the ad later and post it up anyway

hi Tim

kind offer, thank you, I need to get a few of these as I will also look into using them for the spacers under the seats as well as mine are too rusty, so just the for sale site would be more than enough

did some digging around....looks like a few owners have had different ways of using spacers...!

The supplier I used was TBWfasteners seem to sell all sort of useful bits and pieces

Good selection under Nylon Plastic Spacers
