There are 2 rubber spacers that go on the M6 bolts holding the front valance near the wheel well.
The parts are NLA but does anyone know the thickness of those spacers?
Thanks.

Your probably right John but I remembered losing my temper trying to squeeze the washers over the bolt threads so I enlarged them. The reason that I used a larger bit will become self evident once you try to drill rubber. Especially Buna-N type rubber. I suppose a small rat tailed file in a drill might work better. BTW, here is a pic of a #8x32 showing it's metric o.d. dimension. I didn't mic it but the nominal measurement displayed here should be acceptable, in that we are just "Jury Rigging", anyway.
