    Possible Solex 32DIS Carb Donar?

    While searching eBay for anything for the Solex 32 DIS carb, I came across this item:

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_1156wt_913

    and noticed that the humble Daihatsu Charade G11 Turbo maybe a possible donar for carb parts if not the complete carb? I don't yet know if this is an Oz only Charade model or whether they were available in the Uk but, worth a look all the same.

    I realised that shortly after posting.

    It's the G11 model and must have ran either an Asian or Solex carb? It would appear that they are not that common in Oz either, as I had found several people from the Oz Air VW fraternity trying to procure our beloved GTT 32DIS!
