QUOTE(purple @ Feb 20 2008, 01:25 PM)  isnt it ideal to have the cable pull from the center of the crossbar, that way if it flexes, it flexes at the same rate for both carbs? I could put it off to the side easily, but i thought that the crossbar flexing would make syncing hard to do right Ideally, yes, but I seriously doubt the forces required to open the throttle plates would result in a measurable difference in the radial displacement at the end linkake arms whether the cable pull arm was in the center or at the end of the crossbar, at least with a substantial cross bar like the CB hex-bar, Triad, or Weltmeister (I have this one and it appears to be the same as the Triad). I bet the throttle cable breaks before you get noticeable flex in the cross bar. |

That is...if the thing gives me enough for full frottle phun! |

You sure you are getting enough rotation on that linkage Elliyut? I only ask because that's sort of how mine looked before I made my newest bracket.
Have someone sit in and floor it and see if you can rotate it more. |

Early 911's have their crossbar bracket for the cable linkage off to one side. I've run mine for over 20 years - no problem. Attached thumbnail(s)
