Check out the

Winnipeg Sports Car Club website........

I don't have the address, but they are a real active group and will know where to get
weber stuff locally.

 ;D for anyone that is interested I went ahead with the WTCC kit. it was put together by Webcon UK.  I now have it on my truck and it is a great carb, no hill problems like the webber, good power and reasonable fuel ecomony, when you keep your foot off the floor!!!
if you get ahold of Webcon UK they can tell you where to find one.
(email right from the website) I spoke with them directly, great people to deal with.

I don't see anything on their website about Russian knock offs but I did find this statement:

NB- Webcon only supply genuine WEBER products manufactured on the original tooling in the original European factory.

We do NOT sell imitations or copies of Weber carburettors manufactured or assembled outside of Europe

Insist on only Genuine Weber product from Webcon UK Ltd

I know what the Webcon site says. I spoke with Martin Eva who is the sales director for
Webcon UK. They distrubited this kit while they are waiting for the production of the
Webber 32/36 to get underway. You can find the kit available from Pierce Manifolds as well
kit K600WTCC.
unlike a Webber this carb does not dump fuel when climbing.
