1500 and early 1600 insulator

Look nice. Excellent work.

But I don't get it. I am not very familiar with 1500s. But every 1600 I have seen has phenolic spacers. Where do these go on a 1600? Or are they designed to replace the phenolic??

The introduction price will be $250 for a set of two.

I wasn't busting anyone's balls. Please pardon my ignorance, but I was just asking a question.

This might answer your question. It's on the Rallye site.

Although almost all of the cars have been converted, originally some of the early 1600's (up to eng# R-02660; about chassis number SPL311 - 01400) had a different type rubber insulator similar to what the 1500's used. To convert to the later block pictured here, you would need to round up some long studs which would pass through these blocks and the carb base. These would either be 5/16 if you have an SAE manifold or 8mm if you have a metric manifold.

Some 1600's have had 1500 carbs installed which would necessitate the use of the 1500 insulator blocks

Thanks for the answer Richard.

Good luck with what looks like a very well built product.

Hi Richard,
I've wondering if you ever going to produce any of the low windshield frame.
And the front Grille. I would like to get them if it would produce again.
