Talking Header tank thermal spacers

Hi all,
After my relative success with my bov adaptor plates I've made for a few on here ( in the GB page)
I have made a few sets of these for my local Subaru club out of black material , I now have some white ptfe also , which have all been taken and wondered if any of you would like a set that's in the picture below ,

Thermal header tank spacers
These help as a barrier for heat soak from your metal header tanks , the heat that travels through into your manifold , this warmer air isn't ideal for entering the throttle body

I'm not aware there are that many places making these simple little pieces

What makes them "thermal spacers"? Are they made out of nylon or ptfe etc?

Neil, could you do them in a slightly different size, length wise? Actually, how long are they?

I only ask, as it would make it easier for people to securely mount the later metal header tanks, to PH1 manifolds as the mounting points are differently spaced.

These ones are 40mm long over all, but yeah I've made a custom set for them to bolt to a forge header tank they were 50mm long with staggered holes from one end
If anyone wanted custom ones , all I would need is the length and width they want
All holes are 8mm dia unless you want different
