Would anyone know what a new pair of 35mm solex carbs complete with manifolds, linkages and aircleaners is worth?

what is a realistic price for something like this?

Ringsofchariot,
They sell over there for 299 to 349 US.
Aircooled.net's kit is completely sorted, any other kit isn't by all accounts.

So extrapolating that out, let's say 430 odd South Pacific Pesos converted, then add on shipping and you may be unlucky enough to get a hefty duty slug.
I'd reckon $600 to $700 Aus would be more than fair for a new kit.

I have seen a used once kit on The Samba go for 200US.

My 2 bobs worth. I'd like to get one of these kits one day.

HTH

Jeez, they are pricey. seen lots of these on ebay etc and none under $250 USD.

maybe used is the way to go , anyone got any for sale?

buy new from aircooled and save on getting second hand ones fixed/rebushed etc. Bolt and go.....
