I've ran carb spacers made from phenolic, which looks and feel like wood, but is actually a material made from layers of glass sheet, or paper sheet, mixed with synthetic resin. I actually have one hanging on the wall in the shop. More than likely, this is what Bryan is using, although it could be actual wood I guess. Phenolic does not have soak properties, meaning liquids can't penetrate the material, to an extant. Wood on the other hand, would tend to allow fuel to soak somewhat, and mixing that with heat, and God forbid, a backfire...well you get the point.

Love the new valve covers! Those look killer!
