Hey there,

Anyone have a lead on where I can buy a small metal piece that I can use to connect my throttle cable return spring on my DCOE's to the nearest nut on the valve cover? This is a pretty common piece, but hard to describe. I know they're fairly easy to make, but I don't have the ability at the moment.

Also, I'm looking for a block off piece for my waterneck. Now that I've gone to DCOE's, the hose that ran to the cannon manifold is now useless.

Anyone have any advice on where to get these parts?

Thanks!

Sean

For the hose block off I use a copper pipe cap of the correct OD to fit inside the hose, held in place with a hose clamp. They are smooth but I have never had one come off.

I'd go to the local hardware store and poke around for something to connect the spring to. Or do a search on "carburetor parts" or "carburetor linkages." I came across a site recently that had all kinds of miscellaneous fittings and fasteners. Perhaps look at McMaster Carr.

EDIT: Or do a search on carburetor spring mount. Here ya go and Bob's yer Uncle

I live right off Stoneway actually. That hardware store has the best collection of nuts and bolts anywhere.

Cheers!
