Technical Throttle body gaskets?

[flapping lugs]

Just a quick question
Im stripping my spi sporting sei tb at weekend, and wondered are there meant to be any gaskets between the tb and the plastic spacer thing, and also from the plastic spacer type thing onto the manifold bit? Ive taken my old tb off, and noticed there wasnt any on it? Is it supposed to be a flush seal fit without gaskets?
Cheers

As far as i can remember all mines had was the plastic spacer on the standard throttle body with no gasket, the only time i needed a gasket was for the tricker throttle body spacer with it being the bigger throttle body.

Found no gasket underneath the TBs on both of my SPIs. Just the brown rubber spacer!

Thanks for the quick replys. I half guessed that there wouldnt be, but wasnt sure. Its good to know for sure. Thanks again

some of my previous cento's have had paper gaskets between both joins, some haven't - same goes for cars i have seen in the scrappies over the years. I think you're fine without but can't hurt if you have a bit of gasket paper kicking about.

You can pick up gasket paper on line at FROSTs or at better factors.

Mine has gaskets on both sides of the spacer.......I used a cornflake packet and cut it to size.

Frozen pizza packet gaskets are better!

I replaced my gaskets as I was getting an air leak causing stalling issues.
