front subframe tower spacer pad

Post by fra21r »

howdy

my hydro mk1 was striped about four years ago and am now rebuilding and i cant remember if there was a spacer pad between the top of the turret to body on the front subframe and i dont seem to have them

reason this came to light i just striped a 63 dry front subframe and it had them

do hydro cars have them or not
any ideas?

What if you fit a dry frame on a hydro car? :-)

Wet subframes are slightly taller than the dry ones. Hence the need of spacers on the dry ones.
