Dual ignition VW cylinder heads

Can anyone suggest a company that can perform the machining to drill the second plug holes in VW heads or does anyone have the necessary jig(s) that are borrowable for a reasonable fee?

VW revmaster

I have a very early Revmaster that suffered a broken valve and subsequent damage. I am trying to decide whether it's worth repairing.

Carb Advice

I have a VW 2100cc aero conversion and require a reliable single carb to suit. Can anyone suggest a readily available and suitable one. Full spec/model number and jet sizes would be most helpful.

If anyone has one that they want to sell - that would be a bonus!

Many thanks

Volkswagen /Revmaster vacuum

I am struggling. I have an early (un-used) Revmaster 2100D fitted with an early Marvel Schebler Carb and Leburg ignition. It starts and runs reasonably well. Static RPM is 3000 and rather lumpy idle (don't they all?) at 750. At full power vacuum is about zero which is correct and at 2000 it's about ...
