Interest in 4.5 throttle linkage bar

[pmessling]

Having recently adjusted the throttle, throttle pots, and balanced the flow etc i found the throttle linage bar to be rubbish.

So because of this i am going to be making some new ones, using stainless steel.

They will consist of a proper left hand thread and right hand thread. and hex bar in the centre to help with adjustment if a spanner is needed. will be able to be used with the existing ball joints or rose joints that i have recently upgraded to.

Will be using 5mm threaded bar so the same as the original but offer better adjustment and more secure from coming undone like mine did as i had to remove one of the lock nuts to get the adjustment needed.

i have enough material for about three, one being for myself so have two to offer here.

£25 posted. first come first served.

Hi Peter

If you can make one up for the 4.2 inlets ( I can give you the measurements )

I ll have one

[pmessling]

if you can give me the measurement i'll see if i have enough material.

[Gray_101]

The length of the rod is 315 mm ( thats with the ball joints removed )

[pmessling]

is that including the threaded rod? do you have a photo?

[Gray_101]

Is this any help peter ?



315 mm is the length of the rod with the threaded bars removed

perfect.

[pmessling]

Well have made them, got enough material for two of the short ones for the 4.5

I've made the rods shorter to allow for better adjustment. The 4.2 rod is 300mm and the 4.5 is 130, although that may need adjusting as i measured mine on the car and couldn't get to it properly.

Bringing this thread back as a few are interested in fixing the slop in our linkage bars.

I'm interested in the rose joint bits if there are any photos?

[gruffalo]

I could do with a set if someone has any or is thinking of a group buy and getting some made?

[purpleliability]

I'd be up for a 4.2 version if some are being made please!

[pmessling]

Keep the interest coming and I'll make some 4.5 and 4.2
