Looking at making up some of these. These are intended to help insulate the carbs from the engine further at the carb base. Who's interested?
These were available at one time for $15 each. I should be able to do a set of 4 for $24, if i can get some quantity. Figured I'd see how much interest is out there. Attached image(s) |

I'll need some for my /6 conversion...not sure where's the best place to get 'em though. I think the IDA pattern is different than the IDF so these may not work on /6 carbs. I made mine but they go on the bottom of the manifold, to go this route if you have FI pockets you have to use PMO manifolds. You can get phenolic spacers from PMO, they may come with manifolds. Stock manifolds don't have enough meat on the base and they will leak over time. I got around this by making aluminum spacers as well. This also helped raise the bottom of the manifold making it fit the shroud better. I can only find this pic and it's the wrong way. The aluminum spacer should be on the bottom.
