I desperately want this setup. I have a hexbar and it sucks. I also have a bellcrank link and it also sucks. This new setup looks great. I hope the price stays around the planned $159 (mentioned earlier) range.

That surprises me tornik, I too had the hexbar and completely agree its a POS, however I got the bellcrank when it was unclear if Jake would produce the cable system and I have been very happy with it. Haven't touched it since I set everything and so far not a peep.

What problems do you have with yours?

And just as importantly, who made your bellcrank linkage? The CSP Bellcrank is pretty outstanding. I was really impressed with the construction quality.

Thats the one I'm using on the turbo 914, and it has been great. Only one problem that I've had, is that for the manifolds and TB's I've got, the threaded rods were just barely long enough, and I had one work loose from its lock nut and end fitting and BOOM, you loose 2 cyls. Not so much fun going up hill. The fix was easy enough, put it back together, but as it loosened the threads got buggered up. I got it back together, got home, but one bank was opening a little sooner than the other as I had to tighten it up more than the other side (shorten the rod effective length) to get to good thread. Solution: ugly but effective, I welded a short extension in the middle of each rod. Clamped the rod in some angle iron to keep it straight, a couple of quick sparks from the welder, a little time on the grinder and some silver paint, and you can hardly notice it. If the rods were long enough the first time, it'd be a perfect set up, but I guess this one is on me as they didn't list "mutant turbo 914" on the list of cars the linkage would fit.

This is the bellcrank my dad made for me over 20 yrs ago. Mostly stainless construction, with some delrin bushings. Its worked fine for a long time. That said, Jake has said his set up is a complete pedal-to-carb solution, and its the "too the pedal" improvement i am most curious about.

I should clarify my earlier statement about the bellcrank. I have a CSP style and it is considerably better than the crossbar. It has been a bit of a pain syncing the carbs because of the expanding engine issue. I should also clarify that I am having other carb issues thatcould also be my problem so I should not blame the ink for all.

I do think that the new link looks better than any current.

Yes... I am away and closed the facility until the 5th..
But Len is installing my latest version of the accu-link on our FP 914 right now, the system will be race proven i'm just a few days.

My newest changes further simplify the arrangement and make it simpler to manufacture as well as synchronize. It also removes the "wheels" from the arrangement altogether and also makes the same kit fit 6 different carb/ throttle body arangement as a one size fits all..

When I return we are gathering the remainder of dyno and field test data..

I've shot a progressive with a 45-70 and have unloaded many magazine of 7.62X39 from one of my AK 47s into one.. I want to get several together in a pile, load up the 20 round drum on my Saiga-12 gauge with 00 Buck and blast them to infinity on video.

You might want to try a limbsaver on the shotgun or reduced loads (managed recoil as they are called) but they do cost more.

None necessary.. it's a folder with pistol grips... Just shoot from the hip and move the destruction over the intended target :-)

Oh yeah I forgot. My 11-87 nine shot special purpose is pretty normal, no folding stock for me as I can shoot better holding the normal stock and just watch the little blinking green light. My left hand has poor grip so the leverage of the stock helps me control it. My short high capacity toy is a heavily modded mini 14 bullpup with a masen muzzle brake with a shroud.

If you don't get your carb cables on the market I guess I will have to make my own but your's will surely be better than mine. I want to try this for a vw project.
