oneandtwo Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 This has been asked a couple of times now; Puma 90s spec’d with factory bulkhead removal, Puma 90csw and very late TD5 90csw are fitted with these spacers on cappings with the hoodstick tubes deleted. This was done to improve fitment / location of sidepanel to capping and alleviate creaking from old hood stick tube through studs/ washers. I have no idea of the part number as it doesn’t appear on any of the parts diagrams, however as I am in the minority to have actually stripped down a Puma I took some measurements just now- 32mm diameter x 12mm high, m8 threaded. Two flats enable the spacer to be held while the bolt is tightened. The through bolt which fastens these to the cappings and forms the side panel mounting studs is m8x45 with thick penny washer.

This helped align the sidepanel studs into the capping hoodstick tubes on the production line The steel capping spacers above do not appear on any parts diagram or list I have ever found.

western Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I can't find them in my upto 1986 110 parts book, someone must know what the part number is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 They were only introduced for 2004 model year onwards. Even the very last parts diagrams omit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I've recently been looking at body cappings from various places and I noted that the majority of the last ones produced without the bulkhead didn't have the stick tubes, I figured they where incomplete cappings or an LR cost saving action. Not actually had a chance to work a later trucks body yet. Quite interesting info👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutie Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Have a look at S&P 4X4 website as they appear to have them in their kit for fixings for the rear body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the early type eccentric holed washers used on early 90 hardtop mounting. They are smaller diameter than the threaded spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
