All I did when I went this route was to use some 2" o-rings I had lying =
around. I added some slightly longer carb studs and cut a minor recess =
into the stock phenolic block. Worked perfectly but I suppose I should =
have created something to fill the gap between the block and the carb =
body.

  We had a problem with the front H6 SU going rich at the end of the =
front straight and in the carousel at Elkhart Lake last weekend so I =
want to make some soft mounts for the carbs.  I'll get the material and =
O-rings from McMaster-Carr so I have a lot of choices.  I was thinking =
of using a phenolic called Garolite or an acetal.  The O-ring material I =
was thinking of was Viton.  Any suggestions?  And does the hardness of =
the O-rings make much diference?  There were some threads on this back =
about 7 and 8 years ago that I looked up in the archives but no =
specifics on materials.
