I made my self a 6 degree rear beam and wanted to fit it under the car. But i noticed that the PU mounts were to high causing the guide plate to sit about 2cm off the chassis. I know that in the 6th month of 84 somethings got changed on the Sierra's. And i've got an early 84 XR4i. But are these changes also for the chassisrail? or is this a mk1 mk2 thing?

I've seen a topic for solid beam mounts being to short (also 2cm). And my mounts are 2cm too long on top.

Any one ever had this problem before?

got these yellow ones fitted

as you can see these ones can be fitted without the spacer making them shorter.

I've got the polys bushes on mine like the flow flex. The saphs have a piece of round metal that sticks down where the beam bolts up to. I think the small part of the Bush fits up into this round piece of metal sticking down.

Well talked to some one with powerflex units wich are pretty much the same as the yellow ones. And it seems like you need to press them before you can mount them. I tried that this eveninge with no result. The stuff is too hard and scuffed up the freshly restored parts already doing this. So i am going to swap them out for aluminium solid mounts that probably will be less a hassle to fit.

I think you may find the suggestions from Marc Sierra in the following thread very helpful. I had the same (?) problem as you when fitting powerflex beam bushes, and Marc's comments solved the problem for me . . .
