Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2010 4:26 am Post subject: The Twin Pulley Cable System
As some of you know, I've been working on a new type of linkage for our cars for a couple of years. I posted this in another post, but, I think it needs its own topic. Well, after a long couple of weeks and as of Monday night, the twin pulley cable system is officially in patent pending status
I've passed out a few sets for testing and I have been getting positive feedback.
One of the cars is this beautiful Ghia....
with the twin cable setup installed on CB throttle bodies....
Look for it in a future Hot VW's and thanks Jason, for taking a chance
Here's a Weber carb setup installed in a type 4 powered bug...
Thanks Jon
As for availability for the Dell/Weber setups, I'm currently working on getting bids from a few shops to make this stuff in quantity. I wasn't to happy with the quotes that I have already received
I'm currently working on different types of carb/TB setups, other than the Dell/Weber IDF type. The project on the table right now, is a setup for the IDA folks. There may also be a DCNF version.
What other types of carbs/TB's are in need of better throttle control?? _________________ pete

Have you considered adding a TPS sensor option? _________________ (06:31:07) RoachGhia: "i drink dick way too fast"

Excellent! Any sort of a target price?
I'm really trying to keep it under $200, but, the quotes I've been getting to have these made here are telling me different. The ones I make in my basement are $170 for a complete setup, but they aren't anodized and it does take a little longer to get. _________________ pete
I am assuming from the photos that you cannot run those with a stock doghouse shroud and carbs since there is no room between the shroud and carbs for the linkage adapter plate, or does it not interfere with anything?

The current setup will only work with shrouds without heat ducts, but,
I'm currently working on a setup that does work with stock housings _________________ pete

I was planning to purchase the CSP center pull setup for my dells next month because of the excellent feedback I've read here on samba. I think I'll wait for some feedback on this setup.
