What is it?

Right I'm in the very last stages of rebuilding my 1.9 DG engine only I have now hit another stumbling block.
I need to mount my carb to the inlet manifold but I'm missing the 'adaptor', insulating block or whatever its called!
Anyone tell me what this is and if possible where to get one? I cant for the life of me find anything on it
Many thanks in advance

It's definately a pierburg carb. Obviously the gasket block is missing then! Is the block about 6mm ish thick?

Hi
I got one about 6mm thick from Brickworks couple of months ago - they call it a gasket from memory.
Think the carburettor should have this as its a heat insulator from the intake manifold.
I have a surplus one from a Synchro pickup but its about 50mm thick and cant be used under Transporter engine hatch as it lifts the carb too high. Its available if anyone has a use, including the three long studs.
