Hi.

I'm restoring a 1962 997cc Cooper. The car came with a set of MG (I think) carbs which I am using and the spacers seem to be far to thick (about 15-20mm approx) My friend with a 1275cc Cooper S reckons his are only about 6mm think.

Does anyone know the correct thickness they should be on a 62 997 Cooper?

Any help welcome.

Thanks!

Steve

there about 1\4" thick,

you should have a 12A309 manifold also

thanks littler. I have a correct 997 inlet manifold now which has shown up the spacer problem.

Would the spacers be the same on all mini 1 1/4 inch SU carbs ?

As you have a 62 car the spacers ought to be aluminium, those should be the 1/4 inch thick ones.
