I have the first prototype parts for the 914-6 style accelerator cable bracket, bell crank and linkage pull rod.
I redesigned the pull rod and bell crank. The cable support support bracket is 3D printed in stainless steel for increased strenght and rust prevension.

The bell crank and pull rod use metric ball sockets wirh a safety wire clip and dust cover to prevent dirt from entering the socket.

The pull rod uses two ball sockets unlike the original rod which uses a wire loop that wears.
All parts will be yellow zinc plated.

The bell crank is made with sloted holes to adjust the throttle modulation. The pull rod lenght is adjustable as it is a hollow tube connecting two ball sockets with all thread.

The set will include an original pivot post with plastic bushings.
The set requires an intermediate plate with the threaded boss for the bell crank. These were used on tail shift and 914-6 transmissions.

Group buy price now is $225. It will increase to $250 when i have full production in 2-3 weeks.
At this time i only have 10 accelerator brackets but can get more in about two weeks.
I prefer payment by Zelle or check image.
Shipping at cost by UPS ground.

I used a piece of all thread in the pictures in place of an actual accelerator cable.

Nice Bruce. Stainless steel and adjustability are a nice touch. Since the rod from the crank to the engine is a hollow tube, I’m assuming it’s a straight shot? No curve for the axle?

Correct. Straight tube. The curve is not needed to clear the axle. It was to clear the vacuum pot for the beloved sportomatic.
I could gave rhem made with the curve at added cost if someone wanted a original look. But the part is not original so why?

What is everyone currently using if they don't have this?
I would get one but I am missing parts above the engine tins to make it work.
DAPO kludge solution.

I dont know what most people are doing for these parts. Patric Motorsports has a couple more expensive systems.
Some have modified the 911 bell cranks. The early 911 rod works.

I wanted to make a better and more affordable solution.
I have some of the linkage above the tin. Im looking at remaking some of those parts.

I have several cross bars. I can sell you one of those.
PMO is seĺling a kit for some of those partd

Hi Bruce,

I have a 1973 with side shift 3.0 liter six with PMOs.

Does the kit contain everything I need to convert from the basic cable pull right to the carbs?

Can you describe what this is? :"The set requires an intermediate plate with the threaded boss for the bell crank."

If so, I'd like to buy the set.

I can send you pics of my current set up if needed.

Thanks, Todd

Hello, Bruce!

Please put me down for a set as well.

Thanks!

Todd, the transmission case has 3 parts, the main case, the tail cover, and the intermediate plate. This plate has to have the threaded hole for the pivot shaft; all /6 trans have this plate, but the /4 never did. So either have the plate drilled and tapped or try to find an original.

Sorry Dave but that is wrong. All tailshifts , 4 or 6 cyl had the threaded hole in the intermediate plate.
You can not drill and tap the side shift plate as it does not have the boss.
I will post pictures later as i have both types of plates

Hi Ben,
Your website is a perfect match for the accelerator linkage.
Give me a call to discuss how we will work this out.
I can drop ship or send you product to stock.

Looks like I'm out of luck. Have a side shift 901.

Not necessarily. This is a bracket that used to be available to use a side shift trans and mount the post.
I bolts to the two lower tail cone studs.
I think i can reproduce a bracket like that.

If Bruce can make these side shift brackets that would be great. I've made a few in the past. I made one for my brothers 6 conversion a while back too. It doesn't look as nice as what's posted but it works.

Well that will do the trick. I imagine it does need to be super stout as there's not a ton of force on it.

Any progress updates?

Bruce,
I sent you a pm a couple weeks ago asking for an update and got no response. I see you have not responded here either.
Just curious?

Very cool Bruce! Thanks for doing this:)

Any traction on the sideshift version? I should have let you know that is what I need in lieu of the tail shifter version.

Not yet. Got too many irons in the fire but need to get going on that project soon.
