Hi there,
since there isn't much going on in the vintage speed section, I thought I ask the samba community about my 36 hp dual carb kit I recently acquired.
Does anybody recognize this kit?

It was installed on a mid 50's 36 hp engine and is equipped with two 28 PCI carbs.
Considering the level of craftsmanship and the design of the parts, I tend to say it isn't a homemade kit. In fact, it looks better than the Autotechnik Express kits I studied in detail Very Happy

Enjoy the pics...

Best regards
Jan

I have no idea who made this and when, but thanks for pepping up the Vintage Speed section with this post. This is a beautiful work of craftsmanship whoever may have made it.

I like those manifolds, the linkage and the air cleaners. I bet it will shine once its cleaned up.

That’s a Dietz dual carburetor kit in the catalog.
