Default fitting inlet manifold spacers

i will shortly be fitting inlet manifold spacers once i have finished work on my spare inlet manifold.

my questions is with regards to gaskets; i presume i need 2 sets ?

1 to fit between manifold and spacer and 1 to fit between head and spacer

is this correct ??

thanks

phil

i'm half way through porting my inlet at the moment so plan is to give it a good spruce up once the old one is off.

Not sure what they are I've purchased some from big arf.

Will have a better idea when they are delivered.

I'm debating going blue for the inlet colour although my first thought was black.
