JayCee 48 Special Dual Carb Kit + Washburn Big Windows Bundle - VW Type 1

The Hand-Built 48 Special Combo: JayCee 48 Special + Washburn Big Windows

Jack Sacchette's 48 Special is the dual-carb kit you build a real performance Beetle around. EMPI 48 EPC carbs, JayCee billet everything, Shorty 8 manifolds — hand-assembled, run-tested, and dialed in before it leaves Anaheim. You're not buying parts, you're buying a known-good setup.

But here's the problem: once two 48s are sitting where your stock single carb used to be, the rear wheel wells go from "spark plug access" to "what spark plugs?" Tuning, syncing, jet changes — they all become knuckle-busting fights. That's why this bundle exists.

This combo pairs the JayCee 48 Special Standard Kit, Black (Part #JC-5000-0) with our Washburn Big Windows (11" x 7.75" laser-cut steel access panels). Buy them together and save $150 off the combined price.

Why They Belong Together

• Service Access: 11" x 7.75" of clear access to each carb through the rear wheel wells — drop a wrench straight to the plug, the linkage, or the jets without pulling anything.

• Real Tuning: Syncing dual 48s with a synchrometer becomes a 10-minute job instead of a 45-minute fight. Same goes for jet swaps, mixture screws, and re-balancing after a long drive.

• Designed Around This Kit: The Big Window dimensions were laid out specifically to fit dual-carb setups in the IDA / 48 EPC class. The JC-5000-0 is exactly the kit they were drawn for.

• Quality, End to End: Hand-built JayCee on the carb side. Laser-cut steel with stainless button-head hardware on the window side. Nothing flimsy in this kit.
