The idea to mix the Weber carbs and the VW throttle linkage was good and simple, but the Webers require more travel, compared to the Solex PDSIT carbs. As a result, the Webers didn't really show their full potential.
The VW throttle lever is a multi piece, spot welded bit with some steps and special details - not easy to duplicate...
So, to address this issue I modified the existing VW linkage for greater travel - a simple extension of leverage!
Using the original mounting points for the ball joints as attachment for the extension,
I mounted the new lever on the underside of the exisiting one. A large diameter hole allows the lever to still be mounted to the original post:
Now the Webers can "breath freely" as the butterflies are maximum opened on full throttle - that is what we are aiming for: WOT = Wide Open Throttle!
