I am having some issues installing the front body mount bolts.
As supplied from FFive, the spacers that go around the bolts all seem a bit long and I really cannot fit the washer that goes behind the body and in front of the spacer. To make it fit I would have to trim the spacers. So that really is my question - are we meant to trim the spacers to suit? No words are given on this in the manual, hence my pause here.
Further on this, I have noticed that the sleeves are not cut symmetrically, left side of the car to the right side? And on one of them, the cut angle is so steep that the washers do no really fit properly, and it does not even seem to really match the body well.
And also, do the rubber backed washers only go on the outside?
Maybe I am overthinking on this, but I cannot see how to fit it all neatly. All advice appreciated.
Thanks
Tim
PS. In my kit there is also another 4 long bolts with sleeves on them that are uncut. These bolts seem longer than the bolts I would expect to use at the front. What are they for? Or am I meant to use them and note that the shipping bolts were just for shipping?
