> "I will be in need of two 12V carb cut-off jets" > Correct - they're not just to stop 'dieselling'; they stop hydraulic lock occurring when a Type 3 is parked nose-up a steep hill with a full tank. This can lead to severe engine damage if 'bump-' or tow-starting is attempted with liquid fuel in a cylinder. I should imagine it would have been common in San Francisco if they had imported the '64 1500S with twin carbs. VW were quick to fit them to '65 cars. Dave.
