Wanted: A good Zenith WIP 36 front carb

Sick of messing with this one. Looking for another one in good working condition.

Have you checked ebay?

Pretty sure I saw a single NOS WIP. Not sure if it was a front or rear, not like you couldnt adapt it.

I think I saw that one from across the pond. I guess the only difference is the the linkage?

The difference will be the spindle.

Though the carbs are slightly different the linkages are the same between WIP and WIA and this WIA set will give you an idea the difference in front and rear carbs.
One spindle (rear) is brazed to a linkage piece, the front has a spindle extension that is clamped to by the synchronizing detail.
There is a "u-joint" that connects front to rear.

I ended up finding an NOS set of WIP's for my car after rebuilding and running a set for less than 100 miles. It was unnecessary but I thought what the heck. I boxed the originals and they are sitting on the shelf. Very nice set, bolt on and go.
I would need $295.00 delivered to your door. Let me know if interested.
