and now for the "stupid old man" question of the day. [me ] i have always thought the spacers used for installing a B intake on an RB engine were 3/4" thick. are they exactly .750 thick, or are they slightly thinner, say .740, .725 or so ? thinner than that, then using various thickness paper gaskets for final fitment ? i have toyed with the idea of throwing a couple of chunks of 3/4" plate on the bridgeport and making a set, just because, keeping me out of trouble and using up scraps of material i have laying around. i guess that is two questions. i can't count today for some reason. TIA guys ! i really appreciate your help.

The MP ones I had measured .850" thick. I've been meaning to run a set or two but it never seems to be a huge priority. The MP ones had a relief along the bottom for the valley pan to stuff under the spacers.

My buddy made some nice intake flow adapters for flowing heads on my flowbench out of his old plastic cutting boards from his pizza shop. Boy they turned out very nice and would probably work out nice for this job.
