# 1140272 Spacer | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta spacer used in mechanical engine-control and throttle-linkage installations. The precision sleeve maintains the designed separation and pivot alignment between the control bracket, intermediate lever, cable attachment and related linkage hardware. The part is used in TAMD103A control assemblies and selected TAMD122 and TAMD16-series installations with manual speed-control linkage. Correct spacer length is important because excess clearance can create throttle free play, while an incorrect short spacer can bind the linkage.

## 🔌 Function

The spacer establishes the correct gap and alignment between an engine control component and its mounting surface or bracket. Maintaining this dimension keeps linkages and fasteners correctly positioned so control movement stays free and accurate.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Visible wear, scoring or deformation from load or vibration
-   Loose or rattling control mounting caused by a compressed or missing spacer
-   Misalignment of control linkage resulting in stiff, sloppy or incomplete travel
-   Corrosion or pitting on the spacer body
-   Repeated loosening of the associated fastener during service checks

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Refit the spacer in the same position and the same way round as it came out; many spacers set an end float, an alignment or a preload and are not simply packing
-   Never leave a spacer out, substitute plain washers for it, or stack washers to make up a missing one
-   Keep the faces clean, flat and free of burrs and old sealant, and check the spacer itself for wear, scoring or having been drawn down out of shape
-   Where several spacers or shims come out together, keep them in order and refit them in the same sequence
-   Tighten the fastening to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine, then check any clearance or end float the spacer controls
