Re: Throttle Linkage

Thank you Owl, I'll try that as an easier improvement

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

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...

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 ...

Re: one smoking bank

So off I went to Donnington, cruising down the M1 at 60-65, to be passed by a 1972 Daf Variomatic. After a very fine day at the races. I set off home at 3.30, joining the M1 at J23a straight into roadworks and stationary traffic following an overturned car a mile ahead. At about 4.30 having turned t...
