For some reason I made phase 1 and Phase 2..

made from 8mm Nylon 66.. properties are as follows...

Specific gravity 1·14 - 1·15
Water absorption 8·5% max. saturation
Tensile strength 70/90MPa
Flexural strength 2830MPa
Shear strength 66N/mm2
Hardness (shore D) 80-85
Melt point 255°C
Min. temp. -30°C
Thermal conductivity 0·23W/k.m
Flammability UL94V-2
Volume resistivity 1012-1015 Ohm. cm.
Dielectric strength 28-30kV/mm
Comparative tracking index 600V kA 3c

Price is £45 per pair.

I could arrange to find some thicker ones..

David!

You know I need a set of these!! Or have you forgotten about me?

I've actually ordered some of the material to get some made, but if yours are ready done, it'll save me a job.

Mail me with your address and I'll send you a cheque.

Cheers

Rich

David,

I'd be interested in a set of these as my inlet manifold on my 94 WRX is off at the moment and would be easy to fit.

Do you still need to use a inlet gasket with them ?

I presume that the clearance to the bonnet is relatively uneffected ?
