Rear subframe failsafe washers - any alternatives?
The rear subframe failsafe washer KHV100020* is no longer available anywhere. Has anyone found a suitable alternative to it?

Mine simply get removed, cleaned up, examined for faults and assuming ok, they get painted up and back on they go. If any deformation of damage present, a trip to the breakers yard for a handful to then do the same with.

I'm not sure mine are good enough to go back on - I won't know until I take them off so I'd rather have an alternative ready in case they're too rusted.
This is part of a complete rear end refurb - all new bits - I've got most of it already. |

If in doubt, I would simply ask a trader on here to send you some or a trip to the yards to get some to sort out prior to commencing with the fitting ....

The top of the bmw part isn't flat like the original. Not sure I'd use that!

It's only where it meets the inner part of the subframe bush, the washer is only there to stop the subframe coming away from the body should the bush fail, hence the name 'failsafe'. It is probably indented to give a bit more clearance to stop the washer rubbing on the rest of the bush and the outer ring.
