weber dfv28 brought into the U.S. in the 70's.  No parts available.  I also have a pair and will one day use them for something, no body wants them, you will only be able to sell them to some one who does not know what they are buying.  

The guy from Abbotsford   AVI or whatever the store name is there ??  sold them to me trying to make them out as being able to get parts and taking the same parts as 34idf's . Not ever seing a 34 idf I believed him.  This was 5 years ago, what a looser, and I was a sucker, I paid $200.00 for them, and they have been sitting in a box ever since.  NO-One wants them.  $ 50.00 max more like $20.00.

I was pissed, and will  NEVER buy from that store/ guy again, thank goodness Airspeed is here now.  I discourage any body I talk to in Abbotsford about buying anything from that store.

Airspeed all the way

And the DFV as a 32/36

The weber book doesn't show any pictures of these carbs only a notation that they are discontinued.  There are pictures around the web of them though.

They're on ebay and bidding is up to a whopping $11.50

Guy says he will ship to Canada. Not worth the hassle if parts aren't available though.
