I was under my car today fitting brake pipes and have spotted that the beam is just touching the floor

Anyone else have clearance issues ?

I can make a couple of small spacers and drop the front of the beam a bit...

 

Mines touched the floor while using the solid alloy mounts, so I machined some spacers (I think 6-8mm thick) to give me clearance and also spaced out the steel beam pad to get it parallel

 

Thanks Adam

Not just me then!

 

From looking at my pic mark I’d say 6mm and it leaves about 6mm of the reduced stem to enter the guide hole on the floor

 

What is it like to live with on the solid beam mounts Adam ?

I'm using some polyurethane ones from Burton.

 

Not on the road yet mate, they’re not as thick as the polybushes from my old beam so I think that’s partly the reason why the beam touched the floor

 

I didn’t really notice much of a difference with solid beam mounts. If you are making a spacer then a hard poly 6mm spacer might give you a tiny improvement in nvh.

 

I’ll see what she’s like once I’ve got it on the road mate

 

Went into work on Saturday and knocked up some spacers, still have the beam plate ones to make but wanted to know 100% it was enough before I went too far!

Had to space the centre tube by the same amount - 1/4" to avoid crushing the bush.
