I was in the market for a new dual carb linkage my weber idf's. I searched around and decided on a bellcrank style linkage. I liked the CSP linkage however I wanted to spend around $100 (the csp is around $150 with shipping). I found one that looked decent on TheSamba.com. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=660468
I decided to purchase one. It cost right around $100 with shipping and paypal fee. It took about 10 days to get from GB to US. I installed it a few days ago. The quality is very good. I have installed it and my first impression is that I should have thrown out my crossbar a long time ago. Much more precise and easy to use than the crossbar type. The problems with this were that I had to rig something up for the bellcrank return spring (very easy- took a couple minutes) and it is necessary to rig up some sort of throttle cable hold. Overall very pleased. |

Just ran out and took a quick picture. I unhooked many parts of the engine earlier today for a different reason. Please note that the linkage is not adjusted yet. Also, I made a quick throttle cable mount that didn't work well so I took it off (thats why the throttle cable has so much slack). I am in the process of making a new one. I like the location of this linkage- it makes the engine bay seem less cluttered.

Nice linkage!
Are you running without the thermostatic flaps in the shroud? Are you running the stock oil cooler? |
