The total height seems too low. On the picture you can see the solid beam mount versus a standard bush and versus the tube from a Powerflex bush. The solid beam mount is about 2 cm lower than the two others.
When you fit a beam bush the tube is clamped between the hole in het chassis rail and the guide plate. But on the solid mount this is much shorter, so the guide plate would go too far up IMO. Are these mounts machined incorrectly, or am I missing something?
I’ve literally just fitted my solid mounts
In the pic where your comparing both height of solid and poly
The solid mount when in the beam will have a gap as it will clamp on the tapper
So this will make them taller
