Help with my Solex 40's.......................

[sfs63]

First of all thanks jetboy!!!!!I purchased a set of Solex 40's along with the intakes on German Ebay almost a year ago. I have not put them on due to the lack of the linkage and would like to get them on before I start driving this spring. Does anybody in here have the linkage or the know how to fabricate a linkage for them. Maybe someone has a simple setup that I could make. If not I am willing to pay the cost of labor and materials. I have tried Ireland and all of the rest to no avail. TIA guys.

take a visit to www.bmw-02-club.de/faq/gasgest.htm

then after you've seen that. try a google search for the same site. there you should be able to get a semi-english translation of the same page. this german site has some good info, btw.

i too have a set of solex pph's from german ebay waiting for an install someday. it'll have to wait its turn though. mine is from a 2000ti so the airbox is not exactly right. i'm planning on cutting the recess from a spare tii airbox to modify the ti airbox to fit.

happy surfin. keep us all informed on any progress you make. i'd love to see the collective efforts of those using solex double carbs: 40 PPHs and DDHs.

There's a set of really crusty Solex sidedrafts on e-bay right now, high bid so far is only $76, and the ad says they come with the linkage. If my link below doesn't work just go to e-bay and type in bmw 2002 solex and you'll find them.

He posted a few threads on this topic a few months back and it seems he successfully home-brewed a linkage. Here's one thread:

Scottie's in San Jose if that helps.

from germany from a guy i know, but he charges a bit high Euro 125.00

the one on ebay is for a 2000 ti NK so that linkage setup is different from the 2002 ti.

Sounds good just let me know. I am willing to pay to get these on my car.

dap-any chance you can score me a linkage setup also, i really want to run actual ti stuff on my setup so it would be great if you could.
