Before I put them up for sale I need to know what size they are. Pairs I've seen in the past had the size stamped at the base or on the body. This one has "40 44 IDA" at the top. Which is it? Is there another place to look?
BTW...anyone know who Florida VW was? Thank you     |

Back in the 1980s when Weber IDFs first hit the VW scene, various companies (notably Claudes Buggies – today known as CB Performance) marketed these as '40IDAs' in kits for the air-cooled VW motor. The reason for this was that 48IDAs were well known in the VW performance world for use on hot street and drag race Bugs, but nobody had heard of IDFs. Selling them as 'mini IDAs' was purely a marketing gimmick.
Parts are easy to come by - at least over here in Europe. |
