GeneralDisorder Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Been fighting with how to mount your throttle cable? Me too, till I found that the redline idiots didn't bother to include the relevant linkage bits that make the job easy, and simple: It's a redline part - availible (from what I can tell) only as part of a linkage "kit". Part number 99007.116. Jam engineering lists the kit at $20.... http://www.jameng.com/products/index.phtml?section=13 GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Order the universal mounting kit and if comes with the correct wire guide too. I just took a propane tourch and melted the lead end off the cable to run it through the hole. I'll take a pic when I get home, if I remember.

GeneralDisorder Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yeah - I can see how that would help the angle of the cable a bit. For what it costs new, it should be part of the $350 "kit" that redline puts together for our cars. One more reason to not buy the "kit". I got two of the brackets from a local import shop that had em laying around loose. They charged me $5 for both since there was no part number associated with em. Hehe.

TomRhere Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hmmmmm. Got that bracket in my Weber kit. Just couldn't use it with the cable that was in the '82. Former owner shortened it when he put the EA-82 in. Why?, I dunno. I will be using it when I swap the Weber onto the '84. Like the throttle return spring mounting! Just curious as to how long it will stay there whith a lot of right foot movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Not to step on any toes but this is my answer to the linkage problem and didn't cost a thing. All the relevant parts came off of the Hitachi I had just removed. This way also eliminates the wear groove most encounter in the sheathing for the cable.

northguy Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 You folks can all be thankful that you (apparently) don't have to deal with emissions inspections on your vehicles. I'd love to have the problems of how to hook up a weber, but I would never make it through the IM test with one on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 one good point, is by having the cable mount mounted "on the carb" basically, if you add/remove carb spacers, the mount moves with it and keeps everything lined up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flow Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I ended up using a couple of old sockets to space up the throttle cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yeah - I had mine mounted similar to what Qman shows - and he's right, the cable could be at a better angle. I think if you use the throttle from the "kit" above it will be at the right height so it won't groove the end of the cable. With my mounting tho, I had problems with it bending.... and I think the throttle cable bracket that was on my rig was different than that. I had the feedback carb - maybe that's why. I'm also considering cutting a section out of the cable bracket, and welding it back together so it's a bit lower to remove the angle in the cable, but still retain the bracket on the carb. As to the spring - it's never moved on me, and you can change the tension by drilling more than one hole in the clip, or by moving the clip forward or back in the grooves. I will have to find a new way when I get my snorkel adaptor tho. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
