Hydrolastic front subframe

Post by Markbuyers »

I am re-fitting a hydrolastic front sub frame to my 998 Cooper and have realised that I don't have the two tower spacers. I have two for a dry set up but the central holes are too small for the hose to pass through. I have looked for a listing at the usual suppliers websites but they do not appear to be available. Am I missing something here? Easy option would be to open up the two dry ones but perhaps the hydrolastic set up does not require these? Any advice much appreciated.
Also looking for a 998 cooper raised D piston, standard, if anyone has one for sale.

Thanks, Mark

Look through the parts list and tell us exactly what you mean/want. I'm struggling to get where you're coming from. Mind you, I'm not the brightest light on the tree. I'm not sure that there are spacers as such

Hydro front frames do not have the spacers as the towers are taller ;)
