chinkamon Posted December 17, 2017 Report Posted December 17, 2017 Hi all Lookin at fitting twin carbs on my mk1 however it's rod controlled on the existing carb, the twin carbs are cable set up, what's the easiest way to convert the old to new set up? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
mk1del Posted December 17, 2017 Report Posted December 17, 2017 Would have thought if you make the hole smaller in bulkhead to accommodate cable and drill and slot pedal
colr6 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Posted December 17, 2017 You will have to weld a rod on the cross shaft of the pedal approx 100mm long. Cable then would go through bulkhead and use poss mk1/2 escort throttle cable. Other alternative is poss swop cortina throttle pedal for an escort one if the shaft is long enough to go through pedal box and again use escort cable.
nosher 64 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Posted December 18, 2017 Just like Col we welded a rod to the accelerator pedal and fitted a sytec throttle cable block to it.. Simples..
Kenbex522 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Posted December 18, 2017 I did mine like this to give you an idea. I chopped the original end off. The photo is taken at mock up stage and was welded properly with a gussest
