Let's look at the other end. Could the problem be the bracket, moss part #121,
p.44 spring/summer 2010 catalogue, holding #79. On my 65 phase 2 the bracket
holds #79 bearing, Which looks more like a gromet, 1 inch from the firewall.
Also on mine there is a brass bushing on the linkage between the lever arm and
#79. This bushing slides in and out of #79 as I move the linkage fore and aft.
Don't ask why my linkage moves fore and aft so much. On mine the nylon bracket
broke and there must not have been any available because what's there is the
remanents of some shadetree handywork.

Don Day has a problem with his throttle linkage. He said he installed the
throttle shaft into the fire wall and then into the throttle bracket that
mounts to the intake manifold. His problem was the holes don't line up with
holes in the intake manifold. They were off by 3/16". After contacting him
and clarifying his problem, I found that the throttle linkages on our BJ8s are
different. On his car, BJ8L42122, the throttle shaft is retained in the nylon
bracket/bearing by two circlips to control fore and aft movement. This is
preventing him from matching the holes in the nylon bracket and/or the bracket
bolted to the manifold.
My BJ8, HBJ8L39031, has only one circlip which is on the end of the shaft
although there are two grooves in the shaft. On the other side of the nylon
bracket is a spacer about an inch long that is between the nylon bracket and
the lever that connects the control rod to the carburetors thus preventing fore
and aft movement. I suggested that replacing the rearward circlip with an
appropriate length spacer would give him the adjustment that he needed to move
the nylon bracket back 3/16".
Moss shows the two circlips in their catalog - no spacer. Do I have an an odd
ball installation or was there a change in design during production? Does
anyone else have the spacer on their BJ8?
