I saw a bushing repair kit in the latest bugpack catalog for $60.00. It had a drill bit, a special tool to drive the new bushings in, and the bushings. You will have to dissasemble the carbs, Remove the butterfly and shaft and drill out the old bushings. You then reinsert the new oversize bushings and put the carb back together. I have never tried replacing the bushings like this. My rule of thumb is to grab the butterfly shaft at the linkage where it goes through the bushings and try to move it up and down in the bushing. If it moves it is bad and can leak gas down onto your hot heads. Dana Hall 65 Notch Sunroof 77 Beetle 78 Bus
