The Classic Dual-Sidedraft Combo: EMPI 40K Kadron + Washburn Big Windows

The Kadron sidedraft has earned its place in Beetle history — the original Brazilian Solex/Brosol setup that powered countless air-cooled builds for decades. The EMPI 40K Deluxe is a faithful reproduction of that classic, and it deserves an engine bay where you can actually work on it.

We've paired the EMPI 40K Deluxe Dual Kadron Carburetor Kit (Part #43-4430-0) with our Washburn Big Windows (11" x 7.75" laser-cut steel access panels). Buy them together and save $50.

Why They Work Better Together:

• Easy Linkage Adjustment: The 40K's twist linkage is simple, but you still need to reach it. Big Windows put your hands right next to the linkage and throttle arms.

• Idle & Mixture Tuning: Kadrons love regular tuning to stay sharp. With windows open, you're 30 seconds from a vacuum gauge and a screwdriver instead of pulling the back of the car apart.

• Classic Look, Modern Convenience: Kadrons are about preserving the old-school Brazilian Bug vibe. Big Windows blend in cleanly with the body and keep that vintage aesthetic intact when closed.

• Built Tough: Laser-cut steel construction with stainless button-head hardware. Will outlast the rest of the car.

What's Included:

• EMPI 40K Deluxe Dual Kadron Carburetor Kit (#43-4430-0) — Type 1 Dual Port with twist linkage

• Pair of Washburn Big Windows (11" x 7.75") with threaded weld-in frames, panel covers, and stainless button-head hardware

Perfect For:

• Vintage-style Beetle builds wanting the classic Kadron look and sound

• Brazilian Bug enthusiasts

• Anyone running 1600cc dual port who wants reliable performance without the complexity of bigger setups

Bundle Savings: $50 off when you buy together ($920 vs $970 separately).
