((( GROUP BUY - Weber 40IDA-3C Rebuild Kits? ))), From Pierce Manifolds Options

[euro911]

Who's got the best prices on Weber 40IDA-3C carb rebuild kits? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I've been checking around on the web and prices seem to be all over the place - I've got four carbs to go through and I don't want to go broke doing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)


EDIT: Maybe we can set up a Group Buy on complete good quality kits?

[toolguy]

look at the kit contents carefully. . some don't have all the gaskets, some don't have needle valves or all the copper washers. . . some have fabric washers which crush out and seep. . . .IIRC The set I got was complete from Zims and it was around $100 and it was a real Webber set. . . I bought another kit from EBay that was around $ 30 and it was the main gaskets only. .

[Eric_Shea]

I have a couple for my carbs that I might not be using.

[GeorgeRud]

I've always used PMO as I felt that I would be getting the correct parts from Rich. There are some kits that are less than complete, and all these carbs are getting old enough that they probably should have a complete rebuild, not just some new gaskets.

[euro911]

Yeah, I've noticed the differences in the kits offered. I missed out on some nice complete sets for $30. each from a seller on ebay.

For over a year, I kept looking at the seller's items and reminding myself to get some. When I finally went to buy 4 kits a couple of days ago, they were all gone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) That'll teach me to sleep, eh?


I need a pair of kits for a set that I rebuilt back in the late 70's. The car originally came with 6 individual Solexes, but changed out to Webers when the car came into the US. I believe these carbs have less than 100k on them, as the car only has 125k on it.

I want the other set for a running '69 engine, but otherwise have no history on it. I'm going to pull these and check them out. I'm hoping they're OK as is, but would like to have some kits handy, just in case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Let me know what ya got, Eric ...

[Elliot Cannon]

I bought some from CB Performance but is was a long time ago. Try them. http://www.cbperformance.com/ (If it's for a six, they might not).

[euro911]

Yeah, Elliot ... already checked with CB on Monday, when I bought some jets for the 'BB'.

They don't carry any 3-choke stuff, but they have really good prices for IDF venturis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Pierce Manifolds in Gilroy CA 95020

- he (Mike) is a primary Weber supply house - you will get all the right stuff in his oem kits, and he has every other part & jet you'd ever need as well

he sometimes posts on eBay, but i forget the store name

.

[euro911]

Pierce is $46.40. That's $16.00 more /kit than the ebay seller, but they're $7.00 less /kit than the next up vendor, and $14.00 less than the next in line after them, all with comparable kits. Maybe I can get a quantity discount (my own personal GB) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thanks for the recommendation Larry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

If you can find a better price on complete kits for sure I'll take a set for my 40's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

[Eric_Shea]

That price is WAY cheap for Weber kits ya CSOB teeners! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, get them from the guy in Gilroy.

[euro911]

Always been a CSOB, but more-so now - I'm on a fixed-income these days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'll inquire about a quantity buy of 10 sets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

[Mark Henry]

I believe these are kits for a single carb so make sure you are clear on this point. To me "sets" would be for a pair of carbs.

If you can work something out I'd be solid for one pair for sure.
I might also be in for a second pair for my buddy.

[euro911]

Yep, thinking 10 'pairs' (20 kits), Mark. I'd be buying 2~3 pairs myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

[Gint]

I need a set for a pair of carbs myself. What's your plan exactly Mark?

[euro911]

To Rule the World someday, Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I'll start by calling Pierce and ask if they're receptive to a group buy, and quantity thresholds. Not sure if they're making much of a profit as it is, but it's worth a try (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If it's a go, I can start a GB thread?

[Gint]

Absolutely. And thanks.

[euro911]

OK, here's the poop from Mike at Pierce Manifolds:

We'd need to purchase 20 rebuild kits (10 pairs) ... Pricing would be $80 for 2 kits (1 pair). I rounded up the $ to make it easier (they're actually $39.44 for each kit ... $78.88 /pair)

The kits are high quality and complete, containing 31 pieces. Some of the other kits I've seen have only have 23 pieces, others have even less (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Here's the kit:




Since Pierce is located in California, sales tax is applicable if I purchase them

EDIT: (CA tax 8.75% = $7 for a pair) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (updated #s below)

That comes up to $87 for one pair.

They would be shipped free from Pierce to a single address, and would need to be re-shipped out to the individual buyers.

They can be re-shipped in a USPS flat-rate box for approx $6 to anywhere in the CONUS. ($13 to CannuckLand) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

So if I purchase and redistribute them:

$93 gets you a pair shipped to your door.

Two pairs: $180 shipped ($90 each pair)

Two pairs to Canada: $187 ($93.5 each pair)

If 'someone' outside of California collects the payments, pays the invoice, receives the single shipment, and reships them out to the individuals buyers, we can all save an additional $7 on each pair

$86 gets you a pair shipped to your door.

Two pairs: $166 shipped ($83 each pair)

Two pairs to Canada: $173 ($86.50 each pair)

[Mark Henry]

I'm in for one set.
I'll see if mike914 wants a set.

[Eddie914]

I'm in!

Cheers,

Eddie
