two vertical bolts vibrated out of chrome coil cover on 117" s&s found one & replaced the other one. but also lost spacer washers under coil cover that bolts go through. does any one know how many, the thickness, & what material they're made of. I remember seeing them when I had the cover loose to install the chrome head bolt covers. I kinda thought they may be fiber. or maybe they were metal I wish I had paid more attention to the spacers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need them. They were put in suppedly to prevent heat but seems the bolts would spread more heat then the plastic washers. Use shims if you need any at all. Surprised you didn't find them loose earlier. They vibrate the bike like hell when they come loose and your tank looks like it's going to fall off.

I've done lots of posts on here on replacing those two bolts with longer ones. Search it out.

Welcome and please do an intro.

:cheers:
