JayCee 48 Special + Washburn Big Windows Bundle | VW Type 1 | Dual EMPI 48 EPC + Carb Access Panels (JC-5000-0)

JayCee 48 Special Dual Carb Kit + Washburn Big Windows Bundle — Dual EMPI 48 EPC Power with Real Carb Access (VW Type 1)

Jack Sacchette's 48 Special is the dual-carb kit you build a real performance Beetle around: EMPI 48 EPC carbs, JayCee billet everything, Shorty 8 manifolds — hand-assembled, run-tested, and dialed in before it leaves Anaheim. You're not buying parts, you're buying a known-good setup.

The catch: once two 48s are sitting where your stock single carb used to be, tuning, syncing, and jet changes become knuckle-busting fights. That's why this bundle pairs the kit with our Washburn Big Windows — 11" x 7.75" laser-cut steel access panels — so you keep full wrench access to the carbs. Buy them together and save $150 off the combined price.

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Type 1 (upright dual-port): Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, dune buggy, sandrail, Manx
• Washburn Big Windows: sized for the Beetle rear quarters (welded in by you or a shop)
• Note: Pre-pollution / non-emissions-controlled vehicles only

Why Choose Washburn's Metal?

The Big Window dimensions were laid out specifically to fit dual-carb setups in the IDA / 48 EPC class, and the JC-5000-0 is exactly the kit they were drawn for. Hand-built JayCee on the carb side, laser-cut steel with stainless button-head hardware on the window side — nothing flimsy in this kit.

Key Features & Benefits

• Service Access: 11" x 7.75" of clear access to each carb through the rear wheel wells — drop a wrench straight to the plug, the linkage, or the jets without pulling anything.
• Real Tuning: Syncing dual 48s with a synchrometer becomes a 10-minute job instead of a 45-minute fight — same for jet swaps, mixture screws, and re-balancing.
• Designed Around This Kit: Window dimensions were laid out for the IDA / 48 EPC carb class.
• Quality, End to End: Hand-built JayCee carbs; laser-cut steel windows with stainless button-head hardware.
