Throttle bushing on 74tii

[dharvey]

Discovered my outboard half of the bushing for the pivot linkage at the block was gone. Looking through the stash of odds and ends I couldn't find anything, then I stumbled across an empty 30.06 shell and wouldn't you know it, by cutting out a section with a tubeing cutter, it fitts well enough to get by till I can get the correct one.

You know your a redneck when...

You use your bullets to fix your car after you mow your yard to find your car.

Hope you know Foxworthy & don't take this personel. Very resourceful.

Very resourceful yes - but we need a picture for reference purposes.

The little nylon split bushings on the block pivot (and the firewall pivot) are inexpensive. I added a flat nylon washer to mine to reduce the linkage slop (thanks to Justin Gerry for the tip).
