Where can I get a manual choke to replace the automatic one fitted your 1600 air cooled VW t2 bay?

The original choke fitted to the VW 1600 air-cooled Type 2 bay (T2b) is a manual choke. If you have an automatic choke, it is not original and was fitted later. Here are a few places where you can find a replacement choke:

- VW Classic Parts Suppliers:

There are many retailers that specialize in classic Volkswagen parts. Some popular suppliers to check include:

- VW Heritage: vwheritage.com

- Just Kampers: justkampers.com

- CSP GmbH: csp-shop.de

- Gowesty: gowesty.com

- Online Marketplaces:

Online marketplaces like eBay and Etsy often have listings for classic car parts, including manual chokes for the VW 1600 T2b.

- Local VW Enthusiast Clubs:

There may be local VW enthusiast clubs or organizations near you that have members with spare parts or can assist you in finding the choke.

- Vintage Car Shows and Swap Meets:

Regular vintage car shows and swap meets are a great place to find classic car parts and may offer opportunities to purchase a choke locally.

- Used Auto Parts Stores:

Sometimes used auto parts stores or scrap yards may have old stock or parts from disassembled VW vehicles, which may include chokes.

Remember, when replacing the choke, it's important to follow the vehicle's repair manual or consult with a qualified mechanic to ensure accurate installation.
