I have cleaned up a victa utility as picture an sometime during the re assemble I have misplaced the spacers for between the cooling cowl an the engine cover/fuel tank. so now when I screw the cover down the blots are going through cooling cowl an jamming up the flywheel fins. does anyone know where I can buy these from or what they would be list as on ebay if on there at all. I have other mowers with them but I need them for the mowers there on haha. any help would be great  wanna get this one finished. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/uploads/usergals/2013/11/full-6043-13367-20130712_135338.jpg)

What spacers are you talking of here? I have found all of these that I have taken apart use much shorter scres than most victas and the tank is directly on the metal cowling.

If you could get some pics up under that cowl to show what you are talking about it would really help, to me this sounds like a home mod somewhere in this mowers history when someone had no short bolts, being a side starter, a user raising the dress cowl would not interfere majorly with operation. I certainly cant think of having seen spacers under there on any models ive wirked on.
Cheers

Is one of those screws shorter than the other 3 (sort of looks like it here) if so somone has used screws from a series 70 cowling. Shortening those screws or using a couple of washers under each screw would sort your problem....
