HD8 Carb spacer

[Mgcjag]

Hi All....1971 S1 Xj6 Daimler.....running on twin HD8s.. just refurbing the carbs......between the carb and the manifold is an aluminium spacer with a circular rubber insert to mate the carb to the manifold.....mine are a bit perished can you still get them the ususl suppliers just list a solid spacer.. also the the carbs are not bolted solid to the manifols there are 4 studs from manifold through the carb then a sturdy spring in each stud then a washer.....i need a couple of the springs as mine are damaged.(cant find them)....or should i just bin this set up and use the solid spacer and nuts/bolts...thanks for any help...

Managed to find the rubber o rings at Manners....not as the originals that are shaped but aftermarket that are just plain O rings.....springs no longer available so will have to hunt for a similar size.. Steve
