How thick is yours?

Edit: Boy this is starting to sound interesting- lol

5mm thick

The MFP ones are exactly similar in design I guess. I have attached pic of ones I received too.

Looks like mine is approximately 5mm thick, I believe a 1/4 inch is about ~6mm and I remember putting up a ruler on them and it wasn't even a quarter inch.

What's the Harrop made of, nylon(plastic)?

Whipple Guys(I have a Gen 3). If you use these spacers how do you deal with the belt bracket that bolts to the bottom part of the blower(since the blower will be raised)? Also does it clear the stock hood still?

Phenolics are plastics- I believe it is the same material.
There are different versions of it. I think the Harrop are PTFE (teflon) lined, seems like it from the feel of it. might not be though

Mine clears the stock hood fine, but there is more rubbing in the insulation.
I have an Edelbrock so I can't answer whipple questions.

I have a phenolic spacer for a turbo application (Cosworth, not a Coyote) and the material is like Tufnol - kind of a plastic / fabric laminate

Please keep us updated as I have a 16 gt with roush blower and was thinking of doing the upgrade myself. Did the spacers come with longer bolts for installation or do you have to source them yourself? I was also thinking of maybe putting a thermal blanket under the blower to help as well since the blower will be off already.

I will keep you all posted. The Paramount MFP Phenolic Spacers don't come with bolts at all. I asked about it prior to purchase and what Wes with Paramount Speed told me was "No, they are not included with the spacers. Too many different setups to do that with. "

Next weekend, things are getting installed on the car including these spacers. Also you will probably need a longer belt, maybe 3/4 inch longer which can be easily purchased. I'll let the installer decide how long of a belt to purchase. Hood clearance won't be an issue with these spacers and the supercharger from what Paamount told me so no worries there.

Mine came with longer bolts and cost a little less back in October 2019 and as for belts, I added 1/2" to each belt corresponding to your pulley size.
