Manual Choke Installation

[davidvincent]

Hi all

I'm looking at changing the auto choke (water) on my weber dgas carb to a manual choke, as seen here: http://www.webcon.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=2484

I'm just wondering where to mount the choke handle/knob inside the car though.... has anyone done this before? Or could anyone show me photos of their manual choke (inside the car, not engine bay) please?

Cheers
Dave

I do not have the picture but when i had the Dgas i placed the chokeknob next to the steering wheel where you can set the digitalclock in the dashboard.

Thanks Peter... okay and it looked pretty good there? not too 'non-original'?

Also, did you find the installation fairly simple? No need to remove the dash entirely?

Thanks

It looked semi original (offcourse i have a type 2 E21).

The installation was no problem but then i work at carbs often. The chokecable came in the car at the same hole then the heater hose/cables.

You need to remove the plastic cover around the counterunit and drill a hole in that. The installation of the carb itself is easy.
