These are to help support the the rack and should also prevent it from moving sideways.
They are usually fitted to the seat post clamp bolt as shown below:



A suitable piece of rubber coolant hose from a car breakers should make a nice spacer. ;)

Bruno, it's taken from the MagicPie Kit User Guide, I just zoomed in to the required size and took a screen shot (Alt & Print Screen).
It was then pasted it into my art package before it was cropped, saved and attached.

I think pictures are so much easier to understand, as one simple picture removes an awful lot of confusion. ;)

Ok, sorry bruno, but I promise that before I go to europe, I will give every staff in GM a set of high-definition pictures and then you can request the pics from them.

Mine didn't come with any suitable screw either :( Missing parts when I paid for the full package? Not cool. And that wasn't the only problem...
