Description
Spacer for conversion to second-generation steering knuckles – suitable for first-generation MINI shock absorbers
Would you like to replace the steering knuckles of your first-generation MINI (R50, R52, R53) with the lighter, rust-free aluminium steering knuckles of the second generation (e.g. R56)? Our custom-fit stainless steel spacers make this possible.
These CNC-manufactured adapter pieces close the gap between the shock absorber and steering knuckle and ensure stress-free, precise installation – without any improvisation.
