EMPI 40K Deluxe Dual Kadron Carb Kit + Washburn Big Windows Bundle | VW Type 1 (BDL-40K-BW)

EMPI 40K Deluxe Dual Kadron Carburetor Kit + Washburn Big Windows Bundle | VW Type 1

The Kadron sidedraft has earned its place in Beetle history — the original Brazilian Solex/Brosol setup that powered countless air-cooled builds for decades. The EMPI 40K Deluxe is a faithful reproduction of that classic, and it deserves an engine bay where you can actually work on it.

This bundle pairs the EMPI 40K Deluxe Dual Kadron Carburetor Kit (Part #43-4430-0) with our Washburn Big Windows — 11" x 7.75" laser-cut steel access panels. Buy them together and save $50.

• EMPI 40K Deluxe Dual Kadron Carburetor Kit (#43-4430-0): Type 1 Dual Port with twist linkage.
• Pair of Washburn Big Windows (11" x 7.75"): Threaded weld-in frames, panel covers, and stainless button-head hardware.

Why Choose Washburn's Metal?

Our Big Windows are laser-cut from steel with stainless button-head hardware, and they blend cleanly into the body to keep that vintage aesthetic intact when closed. Designed, built, and bundled by Washburn's Metal.

Key Features & Benefits

• Easy Linkage Adjustment: The 40K's twist linkage is simple, but you still need to reach it. Big Windows put your hands right next to the linkage and throttle arms.
• Idle & Mixture Tuning: Kadrons love regular tuning to stay sharp. With windows open, you're 30 seconds from a vacuum gauge and a screwdriver instead of pulling the back of the car apart.
• Classic Look, Modern Convenience: Big Windows preserve the old-school Brazilian Bug vibe while adding real serviceability.
• Built Tough: Laser-cut steel construction with stainless button-head hardware.
