I measured the height of my brackets, which already take into account the thickness of the washer... so it would be the same height as the standoffs.

The pattern I have is an exact pattern of the OEM Exige scoop holes, which probably locate the bottom hole a bit too high... if your pattern works on your no drill mounts for the Elise with the larger scoops, I think it would work on the Exige too (since your mounts are intended to duplicate the OEM scoop mounting positions).

I'll try and get to that today... I'm leaving SD tonight for a week; so it will be my last chance to take measurements from the car for a while.

Let me check on that too. How are you attaching the scoops/standoffs? Are you drilling and tapping the standoffs to be attached with screws at both ends, or are you drilling a larger diameter hole in the standoffs to allow longer screws to attach directly to the spirenuts on the clam?

EDIT: Oh yeah, just to pick a nit... when you say "13 mil", I think 13/1000ths of an inch... I usually abbreviate 13 millimeters as 13mm...
