The TR7 engine was basically a Dolomite engine; on the Dolomite the Stromberg carbs used an asbestos (?) heat-insulating gasket, but when the Sprint went rallying and racing with SUs they suffered from fuel frothing in the float chambers so presumably this was the reason for fitting the rubber gaskets on the TRs. If I recall correctly the frothing occurred at something over 7000 revs, so was unlikely to occur under normal road conditions, but BL played safe.
