NEED 914/6 THROTTLE LINKAGE PARTS, 914/6 Throttle linkage rebuild Options

[marinmcgreevy]

Hi All,

Starting to work on my 914/6. One of the things I do not like is the throttle linkage. The car has 40IDA Webers on tall manifolds. The throttle linkage is a cable (with a ball socket on the end) attached directly to the cross bar. The throttle cable goes under the engine and then makes a sharp turn up to the slot in the sheet metal for the normal 914/6 throttle rod. The car has a sideshifter so that is why I think this car is set up the way it is. The throttle works fine but having the cable make two sharp 90 degree turns does not sit well. I am looking for the bell crank that mounts on the stud that is pressed into the intake manifold. The manifold has the stud but no bell crank. Pelican carries the bushing but not the bell crank.

Does anyone know of a good source for such parts? I need the bell crank and the rod that goes from the bell crank to the cross bar. I am including a photo of a set for sale on ebay. I do not need the manifold or I would bid on the parts.

Thanks and Merry Christmas! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

OK,

Have been looking around the site and found some photos of Brant's car.

First thing is that car and the fabrication quality is absolutely top notch!

The amazing thing is I think he is doing this project from a long distance (car is about 2-3hrs from home).

His racecar link is depressing as it all looks soooo good and viewing it online makes it seem that the work has occured instantaneously even though I think it has taken a couple of years.

My shop is right next to my house and I am lucky to get two hours a month in working on cars....

Here is what it my throttle linkage is supposed to look like...
