    New Solex 40PI float

    Hi all,

    Last few months I have been working with an Italian company to make a reproduction of the Solex 40PI float for 64-65-66 Solex 40PI sets.

    It will take a couple of months to complete the first batch, but wanted to gauge if there is any interest in them. Price will be around 80$ shipped to the CONUS I think. Please let me know if you need one, I’ll put you on the list ;-)

    Some pics of the first prototype:

    You are welcome!

    What I would be interested in for my Solex, is to duplicate the gold finish they originally had ..
