Was fiddling with the left side cover today, figured I'd fit it and set the decals. I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing so I know what to look for in my parts box. The two connect bushings on the right side fit properly but there is about an inch gap between where the dzus fastener goes through the tray frame and where it connects to the S clip on the side cover (I have a 72 Roadster) Should there be a rubber bushing or something that the dzus passes through before connecting to the
S clip?
 
there is NO rubber on the dzus end. it is an assembly where the dzus shaft passes through a metal tube and is is retained with a circlip in the frame. the tube should stand proud of the frame on the side cover side and act as the spacer you need.

Mine is on the right side, but it may be similar, I don't know. The dzus has a spacer built in, so what it fastens to is spaced, I think this is what bill is talking about. This is what mine looks like.

Yes it does, thanks. I already made a bushing for it to pass through. It holds the dzus in place and cushions the attach point. I kind of like it supported by rubber on 3 sides.... can't hurt anyway.
