Linkage for Carbie

Post by Jeff »

I'm chasing a linkage set up for Bella as part of the carbie replacement as the car was set up with a cable.

If anyone has a spare original carbie linkage set up from the pedal to the carbie that they are willing to part with could you please reach out. Thanks

Hello Jeff, I've just noticed your post, hope I'm not too late. I have a linkage from pedal to carbie, but it's a '68 and they use bulkhead brackets with rubber grommets in them which don't need oiling as distinct from the '67 linkage which has brackets with bushes which do. I've added some pictures. I also have the little stirrup and spring which goes on the carbie shaft and the bracket which goes on the bulkhead to hold the other end of the linkage from bulkhead to carbie but they are a little deeper in the shed so might take some more time to find. Hope this is a little help. Regards, Steve

On one of my Bellett builds, I separated the shaft from the end bracket, then (aftre having it all plated) fitted nylon bushes into both brackets. Then welded the end bracket back on.

As it happens the nylon bushes in a Gemini accell. pedal fit nicely.

You could of course get some turned up, with a groove in one side for a circlip retainer.
