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)

Evan,

those are very kind words.. thank you..
Its close to what a stock set up is supposed to be.

On the stock car there is a mounting hole drilled into the intermediate plate for the pivot point....

I didn't want to drill the intermediate plate as my tranny was already done.. Plus I wanted to be able to switch my linkage from tranny to tranny (in the future).. Finally, I didn't want to spend the $ to buy all of the stock parts.

Sooo... my pivot point is probably a few inches different than a stock -6.. but overall looks kinda close to what a stock one would look like.

again thank you for the kind words
