Exhaust mainfold spacer question

I need to space my turbo off the block about an 1.25. How thick is the racing beat one. Does anyone know who else makes spacers. I will do a search later. Also i could make my own i guess. Any info will help. Thanks
Rodney

The header flanges that Racing Beat makes are 7/16" (.44"). What set up do you have that would warrent an additional 1.25" ??

I tried to fit a 1.15 ptrim on a s5 motor with a Obx manifold, the racingbeat flange and two gaskets didnt work.

It is an S5 motor. I am using a tubular mainfold almost like the obx one. Its from a place called claws motorsports. The turbo is a To4s with a 96 a/r on the exhaust side. I was going to try to spacers and weld them together. ANyone else buy a mainfold from claws motoprsports. They are sweet mainfolds thogh very well built. pleny ov reinforcments to help prevent cracking. I will try 2 spacers and see what happens

try spacing it out with some scrap metel or something before you buy the spacer.

I have a Racing beat spacer I can sell, $25 shipped, brand new.

If you dont want to weld it I also have a brand new s5 manifold gasket, $55 shipped on the gasket. (Part is $60 new plus handelling from mazda)

I spaced it out today to see what i will need exactly. It looks like 1 inch will do it. i figure with two spacers and the gaskets it will be enough. I will get pics of my mainfold and post them.
