I've managed to loose the plastic spacers from the alloy mounts on my quick rack. Does anyone sell them individually? I think the last ones came from Chris Astley.

Try Rally Design.

As far as I know Rally Design don't sell the alloy rack mounts, so I doubt they would have the plastic spacers.

If you can't make something up, try Mayes Motorsport, or Pro-Tec as I know they supply the alloy mounts.

Just ordered a pair from Alan at Pro-tec.

Rally Design do them for Escorts but nothing else.

Are these solid rack mounts only good for track/competition cars?

I should of worded it differently, Are there any advantages/disadvantages to running these on a road car?

i fitted them with my quick rack, i was advised by pro-tec when buying the rack to use the alloy mounts, maybe to stop movement of the rack as there is no rubber used, and stronger?

pretty poor pic but the only one i have of them fitted

Nice one do you get a more positive feel or more vibration through the wheel with them?

eh duno tbh i changed from standard mounts and rack to alloy mounts and quickrack so for me the difference was massive, but during this rebuild im going to add EPAS as i found driving daily with a quickrack a bit anoying when parking lol
