depends. is the eyelet the same diameter as the bolt going thru it? if it is then yeah good washers will be fine.

the t3 kit comes with washers to fill the space.

if the eyelet is bigger then there needs to be a spacer that fits the eyelet and that the bolt can go thru

might have to get someone to spin some up for you on a lathe. shouldnt be too hard. measure the gap in the subframe then measure the diameter of the eyelet and then the diameter of the bolt. maybe ask sam if he can do some for you

I can machine something for you for a modest rate if you can wait. I need to get 3 jobs out that are waiting, and they have been waiting for a while.
