Default carby insulator

Been held up . The carby manifold insulator I ordered has not turned up . In between, I've made new ignition leads and found some radiator hoses that will do the job . Also have bought some LED tailights and front blinkers , nice and bright . Today's drivers are notoriously bad at spotting older slower vehicles and you need very clear turn indicators .

Back to the insulator, I did a search and you can buy sheets of 10mm phenolic insulation material on EBAY cheap . Apparently it is a layered material impregnated with a resin , to attain the heat insulation properties . The 216 insulator I ordered , I think its a cheap plastic thing anyway . So I will have a go at making my own from the sheet .
