Default Body mount spacer issue?

Bought this body mount kit a while back. Noticed only 2 packets(#1 and #4 on the LH) have the raised lip on the spacer that nicely fits in the hole of the mount.

Why doesn't the #1 and #4 on the RH have them? Should I call see if I can have the corrected ones sent?

Here's the lip I was talking about.



This shouldn't hold me up from putting the body back on today right? As the #4 and #1 I can put the spacer in when the body is on later right? It's the #2 and #3 that I wouldn't be able to get to later...

Hi PV,
The original spacer count was as you see them.
Just 2 of the 8 spacers have the lip.
The AIM shows them on #1 & #4 on the left side, but I'm not sure why.
Regards,
Alan

I first thought it had to do with the shim location, (above or below the spacer), but then the lips would be consistent side to side , so...?

That does seem really weird the lip is only on the one side as it seems to help a lot keeping it in place.

But I guess that saves me having to call up and complain about having the wrong parts...
