OK so im halfway through changeing my rear cradle as on my old one, one of the control arm mounts broke off.

When i took the old cradle out on each side of the cradle bushes were some alloy spacers (not sure if they are standard, but they sit on top and bottom of the bush, they fit into the groove in the bsh to locate them and on the upper ones sit flush with the top of the bush centre.

im about to put my rear end back in but when i sit the upper spacers on top of the new cradle the bushes sit about 5mm proud of the spacer so if i put them in like this the spacer would not have any effect?

im not really sure what to do.

are the spacers standard? can i get slightly bigger ones? and where from?any advice would be appreciated

ended up just putting them in anyway, tightening the bolts the bushes did get squashed up onto the spacer(locking collar) so its all good.

cheers for replies anyway

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
