The original ones have not been available for a long time. The black plactic
ones are all the is available. The spacers for the tri carbs also were not
available when we were looking for some on the last engine we did. So we
have had them made out of the original material. If there is any interest in
the square ones in the original material we may have them made as well.

> I am about to reinstall my rebuilt carbs on my BN7. The original insulating
