<p>And, the CABs are a PITA to remove and attach WITHOUT
any more spacers (probably why so many original ones are
missing). We got a repop for our M, but I'm considering
installing some other type of filter for normal, 'daily'
use.</p>

The the phenolic spacers are insulators. On
other cars they would be installed between the
manifold and the heat shield and/or the heat
shield and the carbs.<br>
<br>
But these match the CAB side of the carb body,
not the manifold side? Interesting.<br>
<br>
Not much help, sorry.<br>

<div class="m_-4301404542600370847h5"> I
am reinstalling the H6 carbs after
rebuilding them and I hope to wrap<br>
up everything tomorrow. The Moss kit
came with two phenolic spacers<br>
about 3/8" thick that mount to the outer
face of the carburetor bodies,<br>
assumedly between the face and the air
cleaners.<br>
<br>
My car is a Le Mans and cold air box was
mounted directly to the carbs<br>
without any blocks. Using them would
make it just that much more<br>
difficult to get the cold air box and
the hose and hose adaptor in<br>
place. It would also result in the fuel
bowl overflow tubes not reaching<br>
the grommeted holes in the box.<br>
<br>
What function do the blocks serve, are
they normally found when CAB's<br>
are mounted (as opposed to air cleaners)
and if so what harm might be<br>
caused by not using them?<br>
