Interesting, do the spacers fit within the holes of the snorkel base?

That would make the measurement 37mm. from top of the bracket to the hole centre.

It's been 4 years since I did it but, yes, I think the spacers did fit through the holes and foam underneath. As I recall, the original bolts were stepped for the same purpose.

The snorkel base might be 5mm. That, is the thickness of the spacers at the bottom of the drawing. They are needed to stop the snorkel from being crushed when tightening the 3 x base bolts

I had 2 brackets made up following the drawing from Mr Blustreak and had exactly the same issue on both cars I was fitting them to. It wasn't actually as bad as yours seems to be and I found I needed to lengthen the holes downwards by about 50%. At the time, I assumed that either the drawing was wrong or that my tame toolmaker had made a mistake. Now I'm not so sure...

They still did the trick in stabilising the servo, though.

There are some HFF body parts, including wing and doors, for sale on facebook marketplace. In Rossendale. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/171729385049509

Are you sure that it is on the NEAR side rear of the car? The TF (certainly around 2004) had a strange vacuum controlled valve on the right-hand exhaust tailpipe. This is usually disconnected, plugged, and tied up out of the way when replacing the backbox. I believe that the valve was something to do with reducing noise at low revs (around town) for the USA market.

There should be a schematic on the flap that folds down to reveal this fusebox that shows what all of the fuses are for. Also, in the downloads section, I believe there is a .pdf of the TF wiring diagrams and maybe the owner's manual. For my DRLs, I used the fuse reserved for the AC, which my car does not have.

Further to David's comment regarding the connections to the dipped headlights failing, I had that particular problem with my 2004 TF.  I replaced the H7 connectors and local wiring using some that I bought on ebay.   Pictures, including the repair, are here.
