Now that Freddy is (mostly) in storage for the winter, thoughts turn to
what needs to be done to him for next year. He is a mostly 77 Spit with a
69 1300 motor with dual SU's. Unfortunatly he does not have the correct
throttle linkage - I am missing the "bell crank" arrangement that increases
the movement of the throttles relative to movement of the throttle pedal.
This results in extremely long pedal travel - heel-and-toe is out of the
question. The DPO fitted a simple bent piece of aluminum with a slot in it
for the cable to slot into, with the cable directly attached to the lower
linkage. Anyone out there know where I can get the correct parts at a
reasonable price?
TIA
