Default Best Guard Spacer Size

I picked a front rh side window after my break in at the pick a part, and I got a Belt Drive Guard and some other bits and bobs while there.

One of the spacers the bolts goes through was MIA and the other fell under the lower intake into never never land.

Does anyone know the size and where to get some? Do they have to be LR specific?

It should be in the middle of the valley pan. Get one of those $2 extendable magnet deals and go fishing.

Alternatively, just get a piece of small tube stock that the bolt fits into nicely and just cut a piece to length. I believe both spacers are the same length, so just match it.

Unfortunately, I have neither, and the pick a part is 45 minutes away! I may have some up in my parent’s garage, but I think I tossed them.

All right, in that case here's my next recommendation; put the bolts into the cover. Measure the length and then cut the pieces of tube so that there's about 1" of thread remaining. From what I recall that should be about right. If they don't line up quite right you can always trim another quarter.

If you don't find any, they are 2-5/8" OAL. As Alex said, they are both the same.
