I need to replace the throttle shaft for a BJ8 that hangs from two bearings
on the fire wall above the transmission tunnel. You know, the one you cannot
see or get to when every thing is installed. It has two levers welded onto it
at
one end. Does anyone have one in good condition that they would sell me?
Thanks,

Gary,
If you have not removed the four bolts that secure the sheet metal pillow
blocks to the bottom of the structure be very careful that you do not break
them.
They are hard to get to when the engine is in the car.
I just replaced the sheet metal bearing holders on a BT7 and I designed a
couple of aluminum pillow blocks with Delrin bearings to replace them. I have
also made some other non-destructive modifications to the throttle linkage that
I
should be posting to my web site (www.dunritetool.com) or the North Texas AHC
(www.ntahc.org) under tech tip page.
Regards,
Don
