Hello!

I'm after some header tank insulators, that carl Davey used to sell. Does anyone know who is selling these? Or do any members have a set for sale?

Cheers

 

Pretty sure I have some some where in the workshop mate,I'll look in the morning

Sorry Ryan, overlap

Carl Davey ones don't work with forge header tanks on early cars

 

Perfect! :-) Carl Davey used to sell them for £17.50 delivered. Shall we just round up to £20 delivered. Once you've found them, send me your paypal address, and i'll send the payment straight away :-) Cheers!

 

Unfortunately he doesn't sell them anymore, and wont be getting anymore into stock. Shame, because it was a relatively cheap and good product.
Cheers anyway :-)

 

No worries,I'm sure they are in my boxes of parts for my build,I'll PM you straight away when I find them

 

Rallytech do something similar too

Hi Jon, i've just ordered a set from rally-tech. Thanks for info and heads up, again! Will definitely have to get you a drink sometime!

 

Did you fix your DBM one or get a new one after the accident mate

I'm looking to mod mine to insert some captive threads same as the Carl Davey ones - if it works I have some spare threaded inserts

 

Looks like a good mod to me so just ordered some. Steve.

 

There was no fixing my old bug :-( it was a cat B write off. I need to start a project thred, I have a 2003 silver blob now, with nocking bottom end, as the engine is coming out and I have a new long engine, I'm changing all the gaskets, pipes, turbo , etc. While its out and about to go in.

Like the sound of the captive threads! If it works, I could be owing yet another drink!! :-)

 

The Carl Davey insulators were tested with proven results. But he doesnt sell them anymore, they are listed on his site, but he told me he wont be getting anymore.
These are made from a different material, but should be good too.

I've ordered mine too, will take 10 days to get here from the states.

 

My manifold spacers are carl davey ones made from the same PTFE material

 

Sounds like you have your hands full - I'll let you know how the captive nut thing works
