Have you posted this on STF? Someone there (maybe Don or Mark) posted some pics of a complete & assembled kit about a year ago. It was the CB version with Claude's Buggies cast into the manifolds. I tried searching but there seems to be a problem with that function. Good luck.

hey, it's the silver anniversary issue circa 1979...I took a picture and tried to post it to the samba said it was corrupt...then I saw your last entry to your post...the pictures of the carb kit (there's 3) doesn't show where the linkage connects to (hidden) Wouldn't it be the same as say the Scat set-up? Also in the picture (in catalog) there's only one linkage rod to the 3/4 carb..... All you need now is the CB turbo generator backing plate and pulley...thats what they have on there set up in the catalog....it's on the front cover, back cover rear of engine and in the catalog....set-up was $249.95 part # 3399   hope this helps
