VALUE OF A SET OF SANDCAST CARBS
« on: August 28, 2020, 08:15:06 AM »
Anyone have any idea what a good set of sandcast carbs are worth? I have a set to sell that was surplus to my sons 69 diecast rebuild.

 There are a couple of minor differences in true sandcast era carbs and later 4 cable K0 carbs. I'll let a sandcast expert elaborate on that.

Chopper, but the rear rim was trashed and the front forks had worn all the chrome off the massively extended tubes from the uneven friction.......
Yes Im aware of the differences between sandcast and K0 carbs, and I believe these are in fact sandcast carbs, although Im sure an expert will tell me if Im wrong.
