    Yeah, that's probably the technical term.

    At the bottom of the intercooler are these two spacers that have threaded holes on either end. The diverter bolts into them. Well, I lost one.

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Doesn't seem to be sold by themselves.

    Thx.

    They are most likely metric... Once you determine the thread size and length you could go here.. you probably won't find this as a separate sold item from MINI...

    First I'd check ACE. Then I'd go to Granger. It may not be the exact part but if it's where no one will see it and it works....

    ECS Tuning in Wadsworth OH. If they don't have it they can surely find where you can get one. Email or call them, their customer service is great!
