While the numbers stated in the catalogues of the various vendors are
correct 'on average' or for a 'normal car', the various spacers were used
for alignment and adjustment and therefore, there may be minor variances
from car to car. If alignment or adjustment weren't necessary, they likely
whould have used one piece at every location. Use what it takes to get good
adjustment.
