engine and drivetrain Sorry I Lied, Who is Running Pierce Manifolds Spring Linkage on Their Dual Webbers

[Captain Manly]

If so, what kind of arrangement one needs to connect to gas pedal, existing OEM actuator or is there an aftermarket set up required. Photos would be a yuuuuuuugggggeeee help.

 

 

Ok, that's it for now, back to the garage.

Isn't that one a dual cable linkage?

 

Got a link to the one in question?

You just need a little L-bracket that bolts onto the brake booster holder frame, and has a tab that sticks out and has a hole drilled into it to hold the end of the cable sleeve.  Then the core of the cable just goes to the stock lever arm.  I got mine from a Top End kit, but the rest of that kit is crap. You can just make the bracket yourself with a little metal stock, a vise, a drill, and a few minutes. I don't know why IE doesn't sell one.

Here's the link to the part: http://www.piercemanifolds.com/product_p/99002.093.htm

 

Curious on how it is mounted.  I have "London" intakes that have only one mounting point available (on the rear manifold) so a dual rod linkage set is not possible.

 

Currently have a IE set up, but like this mechanism better since it mounts on the back intake and compact.

It mounts to the top of the rear carb and then pulls up on a centre linkage between the two carbs. Doesn't need any fittings on the manifolds.

Which IE setup?  IE sells the same top mount cable kit as the Pierce Manifold one, as far as I know.  I bought mine from IE, and it's just a universal redline weber kit with nothing specific to adapt it to an 02, unless things have changed in the last year or two.

IE also sells a rod linkage too, but you just said you can't use that...

 

Edit: just realized the Pierce kit you linked also includes manifold and soft mounts and fuel tee, but the linkage parts look identical to the one I got from IE.

Redline top mount cable pull available from a variety of sources. It's a nice setup on the top side. A pain in the ass on the pedal side. 1st thing is you need to secure the cable outer sheath. Some people use the brake booster bracket with the cable holder from TEP as stated earlier in the thread. Or you can mount a bracket lower near the pedal box. Next you need to secure the cable end to the accelerator arm. Basically you need a bicycle brake cable pass through clevis. Next is the touchy setup. You must secure the cable based on the accelerator pedal at wide open throttle. If not, when you do open the pedal all the way the slack space at the floor will strip the cable at the clevis, or you will pull the accelerator arm loose or better yet push the pedal off the nubs. All the time wondering if your carbs are still in sync from twisting the throttle shafts. You want as little deflection on the cable as possible when you push the accelerator or you will be cutting the cable sheath quickly and hanging up the cable return. I found once I started down this route there was no going back to stock. I currently have a different setup on my Mikuni PHH 44. It is worth having a look at a bottom mount cable pull. A little more direct than the cantilever top mount setup with the same accelerator arm fuss at the pedal box. Good luck
