These will be coming out soon. Cast aluminum with a carb flange to mount either vintage SOLEX P-11 or Weber 40 IDF
carburetors on your "modified" 36hp Okrasa engine. Cheers! Mr. Okrasa 8)

Cool manifolds and they going to have a name on them, I like the old school cast in names like deano etc

mr. okrasa does manifolds for fitting soley or weber to okrasa not zenith ones...

The carb mounting surface would look identical to the photo below. The owner would have a choice of carbs to run.
Either SOLEX 40P-11 or Weber IDF's. (photo borrowed from site) Cheers! 8)

Hello Joe,

very nice to develop these things and open them to a wider crowd!

The "prototype" of this idea was made by a french guy in 2007:

Here`s his blog:

Thank you, I get it now.

Joe, do you have experience with Solex 40PII carbs on Okrasa engine?
you know fact that Okrasa heads accept maximal 36MM intakes valves.

I think it is luxus to use these famous Solexes P40 on Okrasa engine, just safe them on Super PreA engines maybe, there you can do with larger intakes, but I am writing what you exactly know,of course.

So Joe, how much and when? Just went through my 356/912 stuff and found 3 more sets of 40P11's, that gives me 5 sets now so I need manifolds.

How about uppin the ante now? Here are several sets of GENUINE 48mm Webers that are "sand cast". Note the little enamel badge that you dont find anymore.
Todays "immitation" die-cast Weber 48's were made from these prototypes. I bought these when they were cheap at $5,000 a pair. Enjoy! Mr. Okrasa :lol:

Fri Feb 12, 2010 9:54 am

So Joe, when will the manifolds be available and how much?

If you need a set Britt just let me know. I'm only going to use 2 sets and keep one set as spares
