MG MGB Technical - SU HS6 Carb Phenolic Spacers

Hi, can anyone tell me where I can get 2 SU HS6 Phenolic Spacers for Carb to Manifold? I have looked all over the net. People are selling used ones on ebay! Hope you can help

Moss has them for AH (696-060) TR4 & Jag (696-000) Doesn't say how thick they are. Search HS6 for other makes.

Thanks Rob, i just checked the AUD number of my carbs and they are for Triumphs. I am after 1/4" spacers, wished I had never removed the carbs now. I only moved them to fit a heatsheild which was non existant from a DPO. Why do small jobs always get bigger!!!

I thought I would update anyone who has twin HS6 1/34” carbs fitted to their MGB’s and are after HS6 carb spacers. I have found that these spacers are rare as rocking horse sxxt to find. I did however find out that SU HIF 44 Carburettor spacers which are 44 millimetres in internal diameter which is 1.73” will fit a SU HS6 Carburettor which is 1.75" in internal diameter which = 44.44mm. A fraction of rubbing out is required on the spacer with light grit paper and ‘Roberts your fathers brother’. However as it happens my old spacers are still in great condition and can be re-used when cleaned up. Hence people selling used ones on eBay for £8.00 each. Just thought I would share this you, may help someone.

Hello,
Thanks everyone for your help. I went with parts from The SU Carburetter Company as suggested by Toni Kavcic from Slovenia, a great website and good price. Just got to get the carbs back on and flash her up!
