I think you need to give em a call to order stuff, give em your card number on the phoNe and wait or the postman to come..
I think there are two diaphragms in a 1b3, one makes the accelerator pump squirt fuel when you open the throttle and the other one has something to do with vacuum?  As far as I know anyway..
You could probably fit all the gaskets and bits that come in the kit yourself if you have a couple of spammers and screwdrIvers and stuff,  hopefully you can get it sorted!

Take it easy ; )

THE KIT IS ROUGHLY £35 QUID but i did not end up ordering it as my diaphragm was knackered on the carb so i purchased another carb from crazy quiff for £40 delivered.

£40 for a full pierburg 1b3? or just for the pull down diaphragm.

Im pretty sure my pull down diaphragm unit is on its way out.

I cant get it to hold the vacuum, I think its meant to hold a certain pressure for 10 seconds.

Full pierburg unit pal yes the 1b3. Give them a call they said they have some more and yes the pull down costs around 38 on its own which is why I decided to go down that route
