What's the issue with the aluminium ones? I need to space mine after fitting a Southdown tank guard. The anti-roll bar won't go high enough for the brackets to meet the chassis :roll:

Range Rover Blues:
I had exactly the same.  The one I bought today from Halfrauds (for a towbar for a change) is made from an extrusion, this is cut into 1/2 inch 1 inch or 2 inch lengths,  The extrusion is hollow in the centre and solid around the bolts, fine for a towbar but for spacer it is useless, the hole in the centre coincides perfectly with the rubber bush, so the bush would just fall into the hole.  What you need is a solid one and the ones at Towsure are made with a groove in one side and a solid face on the other but way lighter than using a steel spacer.  The holes are M16 but exactly the right centres so once it's all tight you wouldn't know.

Scorpion do spacers - I'm going to give them a try. If there no good, well time for another plan!  :)

OOOOhhhhh, money to burn.  Did I mention that Towsure spacers are also very cheap?  Got them on at both ends and they do the job, even with castor correction arms the fron prop is well clear of the bar now and the Southdown tank guard is clear of the rear bar, job done.

PS even with a 2" lift it handles better than a Golf GTi, go on,ask me how I know.
