Spitfire Carburettor gasket

I have the HS4 carbs back from Joe Curto- they look great. The carb to manifold has a gasket rather than the thick gaskets or vibration dampers used on the other engines. The Rimmer Bros. catalog shows just one gasket per carb; I have six. Insurance in case I screw up something?

T.T.

I think there should be an insulator behind each carb with a gasket on either side of it. Tom
