Hi

Very nice work, 46 IDAs bring back painful memories, I had some fitted to a 2.1 WBX in my old 1302. I sold them cheap to friend many years ago when I went EFI, I still get offers to buy them on the internet.

Ohh no! ... Thanks for the picture. They must have turned up in an unconventional way, or you might have known where they were used on originally.. or maybe you did and just let them go too quickly.

Like the pan I have now, traded against NOS 912E heads (among other things) I couldn't sell 'em for the life of me.. but they are no longer available .. and cost me one Mexican VW pan each a few years back ... but even that is not the same a set of 46 IDA's.

I know a retired Porsche mechanic who has more than one set somewhere in his bed room, he does want to sell them, but between the lines I can tell he wants thousands for them ..

Hi

I worked at performance VW shop in the 70s & 80s and we were offered the 46 IDAs at very good price by the Webber importer, I think about $200 AU each, we felt that the 46 was better street carb than the 48 for VWs.

When I sold them it was before I was really into the net and I was looking after a friend, I got $1000 AU for the pair which I thought was fair, it almost paid for my ECU.
