#1 Choke cable question

Post by Vegard » Thu Dec 01, 2016 11:30 pm

In the process of changing from twin Strombergs to triple SUs, I've now come to the choke cable.

The car has a twin cable which is redundant, and I know how the mechanism works and all that.

But.... Where does the sleeve stop? Am I missing a bracket?

Vegard,

I just did this last week. It looks like some of your linkage is a little different than mine but I think I can see where the bracket you need mounts. Here's mine:

Blow it up a little and you can see the bracket and also the way the cable terminates on the choke lever.
