Throttle Bell Crank
The throttle bell crank is a souce of problems with age. First the
plastic bearings eventually turn into dust and disappear which allows
the bell crank to rattle. Second there is a rubber coupling that will
eventually break leaving you stranded.
- The bushings should be replaced. The size of both the shaft and
the tube of the bell crank have changed in size over the years. The
shaft on my car is 10 mm and the inside diameter of the tube is 13
mm. This is a guide to determine the proper bushings although this
part has chenged in dimension over the years. Check your before
ordering new bushings.
- The rubber coupling is a cylinder of rubber with threaded washers
at each end. The replacement part adds a tube over the rubber couple
with the ends swaged over to keep the couple captured even if the
rubber coupler were to break. The couple is threaded on the end of the
throttle rod.
