Hi, all i need another throttle link as i need one for my 78 G60, as i am using the Carby and link from the 78 on the 66,and have misplaced the other link.
I have done the measurements and worked out that the link i need must be 60mm from the center of the ball joints. (see Pic below)

Please let me know what you have please, cheers mike

the ends thread onto the shaft. would it be possible to just take that one on Evil bay and make something to work? that dog bone is used on the roadsters also. so you might look at the vendors that support those as well.

You can get universal linkages of eBay for about 20 bucks, you would want a 2" one and they are adjustable

Michael, how about something like this. Mr gasket makes a variety of sizes and you can use allthread for the center threaded adjuster.

the threaded link between the two ends that snap on the carb linkage has left and right hand threads. works like a turnbuckle.

Yes, and these dont. So it will need adjusted to correct length first and then bolted on. Small sacrifice for an alternative.

once these are initially adjusted, you probably wont have to touch them again.
