Air breather adapter

Im having some trouble with my air breather, the PLASTIC adapter I have to go from the size of the breather to the size of the top of my carb is broken and bowed really bad and could be like a half inch taller. Is there any place I can get maybe something other than plastic?

I really don't know if this is what you're looking for, but a lot of auto parts stores have a row of this brand called "Help!" and they have a few common PCV routing parts sometimes.

Salvage yard, but most will be in the same shape, or have someone make one from some aluminum plate. I made one for a VW from some fiberglass body scrap that was about 3/16" thick.

Is this a factory part? Sounds like the carb or air cleaner has been changed, now they don't fit together? Might need to look for a different air cleaner - that would be the best fix...

The only ones I can find online are the same Mr. Gasket type plastic things, with no height options. What air cleaner are you adapting to what carb?

Holley used to offer spacers. I have one so that my drop base 4" will clear my Edelbrock 750. All V8 Fords have the same size air cleaner ring. 5 1/8" maybe?
