Hi I just bought an Intermeccanica Speedster from 1978 and need 2 accel pump diaphrams for Webber 40's and was wondering if the stock VW fuel pump that appears to be installed will flow enough fuel.. and I need a new one...also do they make a carpet kit ?, I need the last piece of trim on that runs along the doors..where can I find an owners manual or old sales literature...any help would be greatly appreciated..thanks Tom

The stock fuel pump should be adequate. Some prefer electric fuel pumps and pressure regulators. Obviously the latter is the more precise method.
If you look in the Library section of this site, you'll find build manuals. They should answer any of your standard build questions.

Tom; I'd like to add that the manufacturers of replicas sell these carpet kits; go to the makers tab.
