Title: Dual carb manifolds for single port 36hp
Post by: RichardinNZ on June 15, 2012, 09:53:47 am
Hi
Does anyone know where I might find some manifolds for me to add a second 28PCI carb on my stock 36hp motor. I know Dietz etc kits come up but they command resasonably high prices and I wanted to see what else there might be out there.  I've tried the vintage speed forum on the Samba; this has brought up Bengt H in Sweden but he won't have any until the Autumn (which is our Southern Hemisphere spring when our shows and cruises will be starting).  I was hoping to get something sorted during our winter (now!).


Many thanks
Richard

Hi 181.  Thanks for the link.   A nice kit but may be beyond my price range.  Anyone know of any other options?

Thanks
Richard

Make them yourself?
Or find someone who can ...

Hi TxT,
That's my fall back position but was hoping for some cast aluminium ones.

Many thanks
Richard

Beyond my budget unfortunatley.  This is what got me started on the idea (the link is through Google Translator which doesn't seem to work perfectly):
