I can't seem to locate any for sale from the parts houses like Jegs, Summit, Speedway, etc.  A link, or information would be greatly appreciated.  I am trying to finish up a couple of intakes for my '55 Thunderbird.  Thanks, Joe-JDC

Thanks for the links, everyone, I bought 4 of the 1/2" spacer kits from ebay site.  I just could not seem to pull up the correct wording to get the proper response.  Everything I entered as Holley 1162-2, etc, just came back as rebuild kits or re-manufactured carbs.  Spacers did not get me there, either.  So, Holley teapot spacer DID.  Thanks again.  Joe-JDC

I only know of adapters.  Using the adapters as a reference, it looks like you can drill the mounting holes in a normal square bore spacer.  If the hole spacing and diameters are ok, then that should be a good alternative.

Oh, there are some on eBay.  Look for Holley teapot spacer.

If only it were that simple.  The spacing is totally different, and different size from even the smallest 4160 style Holley carburetors.  I can make them from acrylic, but would prefer phenolic.  Joe-JDC

Mainline's suggestion is a good one.  These are not cheap, but the one I saw was good quality...

Joe.  I’ve used this guy on Ebay for custom built spacers.  He does both aluminum and phenolic and I have received a discount when ordering several at a time.  The next time you are by the shop, remind me to show you some of the custom WCFB/Teapot spacers this guy has made.

I bought a set of the phenolic spacers for the WCFB for my dual quad set up. Have them installed. Will see how they work. Should keep the carbs a little cooler than the stock aluminum ones.

Used Dashmans for some phenolic spacers for a 3x2 Holley 94 set up.
They worked perfectly and pretty reasonable priced if I remember correctly.
