SU carburettor throttle linkage

Post by 4.6_crossbolt »

Does anyone know of a manufacturer or supplier of the rod linkages with sockets at either end that fit the ball connectors on HIF6's?

Burlen Fuel systems do not appear to do the short ones needed for the linkages on a Boxer quad SU set-up.

Could you get a long one cut it down and run a die down the end?

Chris.

Well, I guess that would be one way, but they're quite expensive and I'd rather not start chopping them up. Maybe I'll phone Burlens and ask if they do shorter ones. I just thought that there might be another supplier.

After searching some more on eBay I found an outfit called FastRoadCar that sell mostly Weber stuff, but also universal-fit ball-end linkage rods with threaded rod that can just be cut to size. Sorted.
