A little bit, air goes through your grill and out the top where you have put the spacers, raher than hitting the wall behind the engine. |

You can use washers, but you'd need longer bolts. However, spacer kits are like £10 on ebay and have everything |

or you could get 4 pieces of threaded bar the same thread as your bonnet bolts but longer then use a combination of nuts and washers to make them adjustable you know the two nuts locked together means it wont shift jobby saw it on a fez but with mine you can see the engravin so i prefer my blocks

When i had my focus i used nuts and washers from the local diy store and it cost me about £1.53 and did the job really well, want to get some proper ones for the Si though |

| Post subject: | Re: Bonnet spacers |
so is the reason behind spacer for cooling? i always thought it was to make more room incase you had stuff poking up from your engine
