Where do you go to find a NOS or reproduction?  Thanks, Bob Smits #2426

Bob: Don't think anyone is making an insulator and good luck on finding NOS. I would call Steve Cooley in Florida. He has a good supply of Cad parts.You can get his number from the Cad/LaSalle Directory as I am away from my office and my directory.  Bill

Guys,

You can get these phenolic spacers new.  I'm at work and don't have the information with me but I will post the information tonight.

Here is the link to the phenolic spacer I promised:

I bought one of these for my '41 60S.  It's a dead match for the original.

HTH,
Jeff

They show the insulator for a stromberg, does anyone know if the bolt pattern is the same on a carter ?
I have a Lasalle with a Carter and it does not have one currently.

Thanks for the info Jeff

Thanks,
I thought so but I am running out of space for the wrong parts I have purchased and don't want more.
