SyTy phenolic spacers

[Guest]

Some time back in a land far, far away....... someone mentioned of making some phenolic spacers and selling them (between lower-upper intake). Did anyone ever follow through with this idea, and if so are any still available? Looking for 1/4" to 1/2".

Thanks in advance,

i dunno if so, but they're easy to build - use birch plywood, highest grade u can find, trace a gsket onto the wood, cut and smooth and drill and install

Yup, Nolan,

Let me know if you need some to work with. :wink:

Link no worky for me.. BTW, do you have access to phenolic sheets/material?

 

[jtz]

Hey Myclone, sorry about the bad link.

Yes, we use phenolic at work.

Pricey stuff, though. 75 usd for a 1 inch thick square foot of P2(the gooder stuff)

'course, we always have a little left over :lol: my bad, and always order too much...

Thanks for the responses, but I'm confused. Are you saying that Nolan makes and sells 'em, or buy some wood and make your own...... or both?

To make my own would take me and my Dremel type tool forever. I'd prefer store bought off the shelf if possible.

I believe Nolan has experimented with phenolic spacers, but I don't know if he sells them.

if you have an industrial gasket material supply company nearby, check with them.

How much phenolic do you need?

This is one of those things that got put on the back burner. Might get back to it one day for now I have my 6th converter to put in so will not be till winter if I do it.

whoops, sorry about that Nolan.

I have a bunch of leftover pieces, if you want them.

Thanks for the offer Jay, but I would need a piece that is at least 5.25" by 10.25" by whatever thickness you may have available. I kinda doubt you have an extra "chunk" that large laying around. Even if you did, I'd have to visit the local hardware store and purchase some gear to tackle this.

For those with potential future interest, JS Manufacturing has made me an aluminium spacer. My needs are for height clearance between TALL alum. valve covers and larger W2A IC, so the alum. one will work fine. I'm not concerned over trying to rid the upper-lower from heat dissipation. Could be a nice plate for individual port alky injection..........

Thank you Jeff Scott, appreciate the "huss" as always.
