Thank you for the contact info for Norbert Wipfler. Apparently it's not certain that he is still doing them but I am going to try and get in touch.

 

I was trying to avoid sending them to Europe, but if it's true that Bob's is out of business, it seems I will be lucky to find anyone, anywhere who can do them.

 

I tried to get sources from the Porsche/VW world, but no luck:

 

356carburetorrescue.com-- don't work on them, don't know anyone who does

CFI-auto.com-- don't work on them

Joe Ruiz (VW guy)-- doesn't work on them

Apple Hydraulics in NY-- don't work on them

There is still another site online from Uwe Gehlken trading as "gibgas-vergasertechnik.net" that has lots of solex's and explicitly claims to rebuild and modify the phh variant found on the 1600ti and 2002ti. No experience with them as I'm not ever intending to restore mine.

Regards,

Andrew

And no affiliation or experience, but these guys list solex PHH as being carbs they work on...

Jonny at Autosport Seattle used to rebush/re-shaft all sorts of carbs-

Thanks for the new leads. I would really like to avoid shipping them, so I'm checking out one of the US options. Porsche specialists $$$. I'll update.

Wes Ingram is a good call I think, he no doubt rebuilds Alfa TB's and once upon a time I want to say he was doing Tii TB rebuilds with the option of a larger throttle plate.  I know Terry Tinney also has done work on Porsche 912 solex carbs (throttle shafts).  Not a hugely difficult task for a good machinist.

It didn't occur to me to check with Autosport.  I've had a few heads done there over the years, but when I tried to contact them the last time I needed machine work, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, I couldn't find them.  It looks like they are alive and well though.  No longer in SLU.  It would be great if they would be willing to get setup to do phh throttle shafts.  Same with Terry Tinney, but man that guy is busy.

Autosport moved a while ago, their new location is just NW of the Ballard bridge.
