[Healeys] 100-M carburetors

[Bob Spidell]

Moss has the spacers/insulators for H6 carbs (along with the rest of the M paraphernalia). I believe they are 1/8" thick. 

The cold air box required a 'special' (bent) shroud support bracket on the left side (it's one of the ways to identify a factory M). We're using a rigid, cold air duct-style tube for the inlet, with a DW adapter and K&N filter, and there's precious little clearance between the adapter/tube and the bracket. I don't think even a 1/8" spacer would fit.

I am fitting up a pair of H-6s /Le Mans 
carbs. You are talking about the 
clamps on the throttle shaft hitting 
the bolt head that holds the heat shield 
to the exhaust header? My 
engine is out of the car and so I can't see any 
possible clearance 
problems that might come up with the cold air box. I was 
thinking of 
cutting down some spacer blocks to 1/8-1/4" just to give some 
insulation 
between carb and manifold and to add clearance for the throttle 
shaft. 
What kind of problems will I run into with fitting the cold air box? 
I am also adding a small heat shield between the manifold and the float 
bowl of the left hand carb.
