Jason, Fast Freddy's out of CA has the linkage for 34 Weber ICT's,
that's where I got the ones for my car. Look for the linkage to not be
cheap and for Fast Freddy's to not be very helpful. They will make you
feel like they are doing you a favor by talking to you at all.The part
number for the Type III complete linkage kit should be 99007-311 (Pro
Bug Hex linkage kit) Redline ICT Parts. The hex bar is #444.311.02, the
1/2" ball end is #99024.125 (2  needed), and the hex rod cable lever
should be #444.311.08. You might have to verify these #'s, this is what
I have on my 10 year old spec sheets from Fast Freddy. There is a
ordering phone # and a tech info phone #, neither of which seemed to be
very friendly or helpful at the time.Let me know if there is any other
parts #'s you might need, I'll see what is on my paperwork. As for the
stock linkage vs. the Weber linkage, the stock linkage, I believe, works
in the horizontal plane from side to side and the 34 ICT linkage works
in the vertical plane on each side (follow my drift?) so they work on
different principles with different heim ends and don't interchange at
all. It's been years since I've been into a stock setup, so any
corrections from fellow listees will be appropriate. you might be able
to shop this around for a best price, I know that Fast Freddy is a Weber
distributor and deals with Ferrari and Porsche folks all the time,
probably doesn't have much time for us poor little people with our
stinking two carb setups. Good luck, and let me know.
