[Fot] Soft mounts for H6 SU's

[BOB KRAMER]

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.
