Default Engine spacers?

Anybody have sources for engine spacers to lower the B18s in the Crx's? I don't want to washer them up and I don't want to lift my hood.

Don't give me the buy Hasport mounts.

I'm using Hasport mounts and my hood was nowhere near closing without being raised. I thought the Innovative mounts were the ones that made the engine sit a bit lower. But yeah the only other time I saw a thread related to spacers, I think they ended up just cutting their own from pieces of metal. I haven't seen an actual product you can buy to accomplish this.

Mine has hasport mounts from around 2010 and has no clearance problems. Except ground clearance with a 3" down pipe but that's my fault.

Also has vis carbon hood, not sure if that makes a difference with the rib profile or spacing.

I had to space my hood using washers (~1/16 inch) as well as cut away some of the webbing seen here.

This is with a B18C1 using Innovative Mounts. The washers bumped up the hood just enough to prevent the engine from vibrating against it. The panel gaps around the hood are a little bigger than normal but nothing obvious like the 1" spacers.

Not bad boibuddha.

I have yonaka driver and rear mount. My trans side is innovative hydro all purchased this year. My B18C1 is hitting even though I have 3 washers between the mounts so might have to cut some thick spacers out. Washers look ghetto.
