I would like to buy a set of twin single port manifolds for my 40HP 1200cc 1964 Beetle. These were made in Australia in the early sixties, and were usually fitted with 28pict carbies, although SU's were also used.
Any leads greatly appreciated. A complete setup would be extremely nice.
Thanks
Craig
ps TypeIII twin single port mainfolds do not fit 1200 heads.

Hey, have you got any pics of what they look like?
I have a couple of complete 1200 engines just sitting in the garage, just wondering if I have something that might help you out.

This is an Okrasa setup. Note the tall manifolds either side. This is on a 1200cc 40hp.
Cheers

The carby set up was a " Ken Virgin " made in Adelaide in the early 60s. I havea set n they work well.

Thanks Dave,
If it ain't too much trouble, could you email a photo of the setup. It'd be good to have for future reference if I ever come across a set.
Cheers
