Default Inlet Manifold phenolic Spacers

Been thinking about making these up for a while, I had some on my car for a while so I have the pattern for 2001 on cars . They are very good for keeping the heat down.

I am waiting for a price for material to come in but if we can get enough interest we will make them ....

10mm seem to be mos popular


anyone?

I have some tufnol carp in the garage to make my own, but if you can do them cheap enough I might save myself the effort

Will these be the ones that require gaskets, or the gasket free style like these

I've just bought a set and header tank spacers as well , I could have earned more points on my loyalty card.

Are you going to make them with inbuilt gaskets or will they require gaskets?

I've have heard that the 10mm spacers plus the double gaskets required can cause clearance issues on some installs.

I have no doubt Chris that they will be to your very high standards and will be very well priced as well.

I've seen some that are white like cutting board material that don't need gaskets but the tufnol ones are too solid and need something to seal them.

Ok, well I had the tufnol ones on mine brought from mocom about 4 years ago running without anyproblems . but I am sure it wont be a problem to make them with seals in aswell..... better do it right

I originally ordered the spacers from Carl Davey but after he came back from the rigs he found that he didn't have the manifold spacers in stock or the material to make them either.

So I had the header tank spacers from Carl and ordered the manifold spacers from Advanced Automotive in Bristol.

Funnily enough I did think about asking you about them the last time I PM'd you but forgot, and thought you had enough on the go at that point as well.

My tufnol ones had gaskets with them Chris.
I sent the link to this thread to someone I know who is after some.
(Hope all is going well with you by the way)

I watched the thread for about 5 months, then got bored waiting and got a set of the new ones from Carl Davey. They are very very good

Default OFFER PRICE

Sorry guys,

I have had these sitting in stock for quite a while now, I emailed all my dealers when I finished them but no one seemed to advertize these for us.

I have 5 classic sets and 7 newage sets..


Will do this batch at a special offer price of £50 delivered
