Default rear beam donuts solid, poly std modded what you got...

fitted to your cosworth? I have a set of alloy rear beam mounts that sit oddly when fitted to my mates shell, the plate that sits across the bottom of the mounts needs washers on the 2x smaller bolts to sit level which isnt ideal, otherwise the plates sit wonky, these are the mounts used;

and this below is how mine fits, it could really use some washers to level it up but the opposite way, on the single M12 locating bolt

I have seen these mounts that look slightly different, they done have the 10mm lip or the locating sleeve in the top, is it a coincident that my mates sits nearly 10mm too far down?


anybody got pics of their car fitted with anything other than standard rubber bushes to compare??

glad I used a decent set then Marco Any reason the bottom plate doesnt sit quite flat then should they just be tightened down and not to worry? its as though they are just a little bit too tall.
