That's a cool looking air filter housing. Rare as hen's teeth, I take it?

Super Marauder spacers ......
I needed to machine new insulating spacers for a 3 x 2 setup. The old material looks like a brown Bakelite ..It was deteriorated.
McMaster Carr has various grades of phenolic or garolite. I selected G-10 Fiberglass reinforced Industrial laminate ....it is a phenolic material
I also mached 3 aluminum plates …..Thanks Bobby B. (My tool maker)
A stacked arrangement will be installed under each carburetor. .....
gasket, aluminum plate, gasket, insulator and gasket....
That should keep the heat down.....The Garolite can withstand 325 F ........




Notice the locating pins .....No magic here. Drill press and band saw. Also three new Stainless studs for the air cleaner.

The Mr Gasket wing nuts look right at home......just a quick mock up...

Anthony, why are you sandwiching those aluminum plates? Is that the way they used to roll off the line? I sure do miss s.th.

[59lincolnrag]

The picture you see is not what will be under the carb .....
We simply stacked all the materials to cut out everything at once….
From the factory it was a paper gasket the Bakelite insulator another gasket then the carburetor....

So ….for better Insulating qualities.

Paper gasket
Aluminum plate
another gasket
Bakelite insulator
and then another paper gasket
and finally the Carburetor.

So I’m really only adding a thin Aluminum plate to each one. Since our Gasoline seems to evaporate very quickly this seems like a reasonable “fix”.
