Hi, the completion of my engine swap is imminent but I
have been hit with the task of connecting my carbs to
my foot.

At the moment the plan is to manufacture my own
device, possibly mounted to the rocker cover or the
inlet manifold. I have chosen to do it this way simply
because I cannot bring myself to spend £40-£100 on a
throttle linkage. Saying that I would prefer one of
those carb mounted, double springed affairs.

So on the off chance that one of you might have a
throttle linkage for some twin carbs, preferably
Dellortos, that they have hanging around and they
wouldn't mind selling it to me for up to £30 it would
me much appreciated. I am not fussy about condition,
reconditioning is far easier than creating something
from scratch.

I know its a long shot but I thought I might as well
ask before I devote a lot of time and effort into
manufacturing something myself.

Thanks,

Will
