[Fot] Carb Mounting

[Joe Boruch]

Yes, remove the stock fiber spacer.  I have the weber soft mounts isolating my
SU's too, but am not using a heat shield, so I can't help you there.   I
installed longer studs to make this work.  I think I had to elongate the holes
on the O-ring plates.  It is ok that the plate only catches 2 studs, since
they are diagonally opposite  You are not tightining the nuts down tight, so
that isssue is a non-issue  Use nyloc nuts to keep them from vibrating loose.

Hello:

I have acquired a set of Weber Carb "soft mounts", ie, thin metal plate with
rubber O rings on each side, to help reduce the vibration getting to the SU
carbs on my TR4 racer.  Questions:  do these replace the normal 1/4" thick,
hard material, carb insulators?  Since the soft mount only has two bolt
holes,
what should be used as a spacer for the other two carb bolts?  I have one of
Joe Alexander's heat shields for the carbs, should this go directly against
the intake manifold with the soft mount on top or vica versa?  Thanks.
