Hi guys
Seems I've missed placed all my stock body mounts for the 2A.  At this point and time I'm in need the thickness of the spacer between the bottom of the grille and the bracket it bolts to the frame rails.  
Thanks, Jim

I went to look for you but I’m not seeing a spacer on mine or in the parts book. Can you be more specific? Pics, maybe?

No spacers on the grill mounts unless you have a body lift.
If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

I maybe using the wrong terminology.  It may NOT be called a spacer but a piece of webbing ?" in thickness.   Possibly similar to the fenders bottom support bracket that bolts to the frame. They have some sort of webbing ?" thick. 
Hope this helps.

It's bolted up metal to metal?  WOW.   How about the center grille to crossmember mount?

Had to go take a look at mine, but no spacer there either.

Are you talking about the radiator, not the grille? There is a compound rubber shim that goes between the Radiator and the frame for each mounting bolt. Parts manual shows two p/ns, one thick, one thin. Mine are a quarter of an inch thick. Got them from Flat Fenders Forever years ago. But the grille or “radiator guard” bolts on with nuts and washers, pretty sure that’s it.

No not the radiator mounts but the grille mounts.
