Tower bolt spacers

[oldnut45]

I'm getting pretty close to getting the engine into the car and checking the build manual under the heading " front subframe assembly" paragraph seven refers to spacers when fitting the tower bolts ? My car came with the subframe already separate from the car so I have not seen how the subframe is actually fitted, its all pretty straight forward but I have not seen any "spacers" for this situation. Can any tell me what these spacers are, I assume they are to prevent the fiberglass at this point being crushed?Size of these spacers would be great
Thanks

I've pinched this from Geert's thread (no pun intended)

On my car they were just a piece of roughly cut tube held onto the tower bolt with masking tape, factory build too which aren't necessarily the best.

Thanks for the picture Stuart, but can't work out what they are ? The picture seems to show a bolt with thread at both ends, is that the head of the tower bolt on the left ? what size is the tube, Dia, length, thickness /

The head of the tower bolt has been removed, the left bit is as per the standard bolt, I think the spacer is around 8mm long, I have tried to find an older post on these spacers but have drawn a blank sorry.
