The only reason we use the phenolic spacers is because we all have a few sets under a bench somewhere. They work but aren't the only way. Slightly different but a heck of a lot cheaper on aircooled.net: http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Weber-IDF-IDA...-11-1562-12.htm
Even cheaper at Pierce Manifolds, called "isolator" gaskets, to eliminate heat transfer and vibration (which can aerate fuel): http://www.piercemanifolds.com/category_s/296.htm These are a different style, 1/8" instead of phenolic, but they do exactly the same thing. . |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Nov 12 2012, 07:49 AM) QUOTE(nathansnathan @ Nov 12 2012, 06:51 AM) The Phenolic FI spacers are in the 1.8/ 2.0 elring gasket sets. It's a fun project to make your own, but I can't see going to great lengths to make these. About the Dellorto whistle, I was saying I think it is a myth, as my Dells only make that noise when they aren't sealing right. CB doesn't make them anymore, like was said. I speculate that those gaskets were a cover up - the literature wasn't going to say, "now buy our gaskets which compensate for how badly machined our manifolds are", so they made up a story about the gaps that had to be filled by a proprietary gasket, when it is just the thickness of the gasket that makes the difference. -just speculating here as I have not tried the special gaskets. My Dells son't whistle, though, without them. It could be there is some confusion between "Dellorto whistle" and "Dellorto Howl". Mine do howl impressively. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nope. It's real. You have to epoxy up that positioning slot at the base since the gaskets are NLA. My 2270 had Dell's and she tweeted up a storm. I got 'the last set of gaskets' at CB Performance according to the person I ordered from. Maybe I'm doing something wrong that I can't get them to whistle? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Mine are the european ones, drla 40's, running tiny 32 mains, the long manifolds, cb air filter/ linkage on an 1800 with a webcam 86 cam - has some overlap and some lift over stock cam. I've got a stock muffler, all this in a bus mind you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here are the gaskets at aircooled.net. http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Dellorto-DRLA...stle-gasket.htm |

Complete!! Total cost = zero, machining time on the mill after work about 4 hours for the set plus a bit more to make the jig for them. It feels good making parts for your own car instead of having to pay out money for them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
