Ted,
The application in question is indeed HS2's but not the ones you are
thinking of. These are attached to a 1147 manifold which is built
differently and cannot easily adapt the later type linkage. However, I
managed to fabricate one for my 1500 and I will see if It is possible to
do something similar on the 1147.
Regards,
Joe
