Thirsty Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi all. Just fitted a pair of HS6 carbs to my mk3. I'm trying to work out the best way to attach the throttle cable to the linkage. I made up a simple bracket that would accommodate the original cable and tensioner, pulling from below rather than above but once under tension, the arm is fouled by the choke linkage. Any ideas/pictures of your solutions?Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McEvedy Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Not a brilliant picture, and confess they are playing up a bit at present!![Sorry, link no longer available] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npanne Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Similar - this was mine before I welded the arm onto the linkage for the cable to connect to: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don cook1 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I copied Roy's system, although I'm not entirely convinced that the butterfly's open up all the way. More testing needed. You can use the original Stromberg parts but need to modify the complicated linkage and also the choke connecting bar, that''s a bit of a faff really. Here's a pic of Mr Barret's set up using original linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks for the pics. Peter/Npanne - I like the tidiness of that solution. Royboy - That's kind of what I had in mind, nice to know it works as that seems the simplest solution. What are the two hoses on top of your intake manifold though? Don - I think the Stromberg mod will be last resort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiTurbo228 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Bit cheeky, but if anyone is looking to do this conversion I've got a set on eBay at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221826766523?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
