DCOE Weber Top Mount Linkage Kit

I seem to remember there was an outfit out there selling these kits for 120.00. I've been looking for the kit and have been finding them spread across the board at 135.00 to 180.00 !!!! Obviously I'd like to pay as little as I can. Anyone know who has these at 120.00 or less? TIA.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should of described what I was looking for . It's the one with the double springs and single or double cable operation for twin DCOE. There is also a bottom mount version as well. I do remember these not too long ago being for sale in the 120.00 range. Anything beyond that seems a bit high IMHO. Thanks.

If you find anything near 120, then let us all know. Prices go up. I've been putting off getting a new one for months....

I got a kit for my last 2002, it had two weber dcoe 40 sidedrafts. The kit was a throttle cable and linkage kit with adjustments to sync the carbs. I don't remember how much it cost, but I remember dealing with them directly over the phone and they were helpful and shipped quickly.

Looks like $160 now, and that doesn't even include the cable(s)

it is possible to make your own. it won't look as sexy, but it will work great, and for a fraction of the cost.

I made mine about 5 years back and haven't had any issues since then. If there is interest I can post Pictures. it is pretty simple though.

1. Throttle cable from a hot rod shop - i think it was about $8.00

2. Aluminum plates - Home depot, $15 i think

3. Springs - hot rod shop again - $5

a couple of hours to cut, bend and install. you need a clamp to hold the lower end of the cable sleeve, somewhere down near the pedal. mine is on the brake booster/master structure.

the upper end of the cable is slotted into a piece of aluminum and bent at an angle to allow the cable to pull the throttle open upwards.

again, not sexy, but very practical and a fraction of the cost.

Like I said before, the prices are all over the board. It's not that their going up just different outlets have crazy prices. Trying to justify the cost of a few brackets, springs and a bicycle cable for 160.00 is ridiculous. Carb's unlimited has the set up for 137,99 free shipping. Still a lot of dough but at least they give you a cable! My car is a show car so it has to be something nice not fabricated. Thanks for all the responses and advice.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
