Throttle Linkage
Has anyone converted the throttle linkage from rod to cable?
Trying to drive at low speed on a poor surface is almost impossible. it's not the rubbish rear suspension it's the rubbish rod setup

Re: DLOC Meetings Yorkshire

But many members have left, died or not renewed their membership, so it is a pretty much a hit or miss affair if anyone is there at all. If you want t...

Re: Dart fuel tank fittings
The original factory made pickup tubes were plate, rolled and then soldered. I had a problem with a leak on mine which let in air on full power. The pipes were of a very strange size and it required David Beales' expertise to identify and have the correct size threaded pipe. The two pipes go into a ...
