WEBCON KEEPS A LOW-PROFILE
Dec 12th
When the renowned Mangoletsi low-profile Weber DCOE Throttle Linkage System went out of production in 2021 the availability of low-profile linkage options was very limited.
While a small number of cheap, imported imitations have surfaced since none have come close to the quality of the Mangoletsi unit.
Things have now changed though with the introduction of the new Webcon low-profile linkage system. Beautifully crafted by Webcon in the UK, the new system is manufactured from clear anodised billet aluminium to ensure outstanding longevity, looks and adjustability.
It will be ideal for anyone installing single or twin Weber DCOE carburettors in a height-restricted application.

It might surprise you to know that the A-Series engine has a vibration problem!
However, the factory knew about it years ago and designed a ‘dampener’ to help absorb or counterbalance this problem.
The most common damper was a one-piece affair, which is actually a pulley with an outer metal ring connected to it by a special vulcanised rubber.
This was a great, simple design, but it has an inherent problem that comes to light with age. If the rubber dries up and/or is exposed to oil, dirt, etc. it cracks and stops ‘dampening’.
At best, this will result in noticeable vibration, which will More >
