Who knows how or why, however the previous owner of my 86 convertible must have lost the spacers that go between the x-brace and the frame, and just used a whole bunch of washers to take up the space; does anyone either have a couple of used ones (I only need to 2 in the front) or know the part numbers or a sourcing location for some replacements????

The front mounting points on my 92 do not use spacers. Only the rear mounts have them. Perhaps the PO wanted to drop the front a bit to eliminate contact with exhaust or ??

I can't remember if the 86's were similar to the 92's or not; I seem to vaguely remember on my previous 86 from many years ago that the spacers may have only been in the rear, however it's been so long, I can't remember; who knows what the previous owner did; I'm finding some weird things with this car; the mechanic says the x-brace is a little bent up, so maybe they used the washers to help straighten it out; maybe another 1986 owner can chime if if they have an original car that hasn't been boogered up or been in an accident......
