suffering with a vacuum leak and took this weekend to see what could be done about it. The base gaskets in the rebuild kit I have are paper and pretty thick - the ones in the car are black and I'm not sure what they're made of. Are the cardboardy ones the current gasket???

And more importantly, one of the phenolic spacers is broken. I've looked at the usual websites and can't find them. Any ideas about a replacement source?

As always, your help is appreciated.

I recently rebuilt my Webers and all of the gaskets in the kit were the "cardboardy" ones.
Here's where I picked up a couple sets of the phenolic spacers.
Search for "MRRAGPICKER"

Pelican and AA both have the phenolic spacers. I bet GPR does too.

Did a search on AA, Pelican, and GPR and had no luck on the 40 IDF phenolic spacers. I need a set. Does anyone know where some could be had??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

If you use the thick plastic spacers/ gaskets you may have to install longer studs when fitting carb manifolds.

They're fuel injection parts, not specifically for Webers.
