This is why VW/Solex finally went with the rubber diaphram on the newer carbs. My rebuild kits that I got came with the replacement diaphrams that I will probably never use. BTW, I am getting some material to make the base gaskets for our carbs. I have to buy the material in a 24"x24" sheet, or a 3"x48" strip. While I am machining them, I just as well make a bunch. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
