Post subject:  Cooper S grill spacers
What do people make the grill spacers for the Cooper S out of?
Anyone have some dimensions?
Are these the same as the spacers used for the carpet clips?

Yes, they are the same spacers as the carpet clips.

Take a look at this thread....

Which screws are suppose to have the spacers under, is it only the lower set?

And which holes are supposed to be used, the grills always seem to have a couple of extra holes. (6 in total) or have many just had extra holes drilled?

Cheers

The parts book shows six spacers - two behind the 'tags' that stick up at the top of the grille and go either side of the bonnet lock, and two on each side through the large flat black sheet that also secures the grill blades.

Is that from an Aussie parts book, i.e is that how the Aussie cars were assembled?

I'll have to try mounting my grill with spacers, can't imagine it not looking a little odd that far proud of the body/surround. My grill tends to just "bend" a little around the cooler.

Can imagine most cars losing these during the first service :lol:

The grill only needs the extra ΒΌ" to stop rubbing the oil cooler.

I don't need it , my oil cooler has already rubbed the required clearance.

If you've got really good eyes it's a way of recognising a Cooper S from the front (i.e. the grille sticks out a little bit more than a DeLuxe or K).
