Looking to make my own plenuum spacer(s)for my Cosworth YB engine. Before I spend time measuring, drawing and writing the CNC code, I just need to check whether anyone on here has already done this and is prepared to share :-)

Weren't these available like 5/6yrs ago off the shelf?

And if people have stopped using/making them then that means that it was of no great benefit.

They are still available off the shelf and work but, as I have the equipment to make them, why buy? Cost to buy around £40. Cost to make approx £10.

Of course. If you added your hourly rate to your car build every car would be worth a fortune :-)

I don't smoke and I don't drink to excess and my car build is my hobby so time is not a factor but being retired means that costs are.
