MichaelJFox Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hey guys. I got a set of DHLA 40's on my MK1 Golf & have been told it's going to cost anywhere from $600 to $1000 to get them rebuilt. Of course depending on how bad they are inside. Any bro's on here do that kind of stuff for a living? Either way it's gotta be done.

Truenotch Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think someone should write a tech article about rebuilding sidies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Just buy a couple of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/carburation-induction/auction-419846075.htm and away you go. Depends on if the throttle shaft is munted, but really thats about the extent of what can go wrong, they are really simple and very easy to understand.

two_days_late Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Have spoken to the guy at Weber Specs just now. Sorted me out an awesome deal on some recon'd webers all setup for my motor so all i need to do is plug in the fuel line and bolt on my manifold. Soo I now have 2x Dellorto DHLA 40's for sale that seem to be in pretty good condition but I've never used them, and also a 32/36 weber on a crossflow manifold for sale if anyones interested.

MichaelJFox Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Haha, how much? Why were you getting them rebuilt if they're in pretty good nick? Seams my throttle pumps are shagged. EDIT: How much he charge you for the recon'd ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 1200 +gst for 2 fully rebuilt carbs with linkages and everything tuned to suit my motor. Just have to send him my manifold an he will bolt them up to it and supply new studs for the head etc. Carbs are currently set up for a 2 litre so was gonna have to get them set for my 1600, was just gonna rebuild at the same time. Also said he could do brand new ones setup ion the manifold and tuned for 1650+ Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
