East dulwich is a great place.  I've had plenty of walks through the 'village' etc.  Funnily enough I live right near bow road, just a little north of the station.  

I keep meaning to goto those hertford heath meets in herts but there's always something that needs doing on the car.  Its sods law that once the engine is running sweet I have to sort the brakes... £££!

Once again james.. sorry for the hijack!

Hi, the completion of my engine swap is imminent but I have been hit with the task of connecting my carbs to my foot.

At the moment the plan is to manufacture my own device, possibly mounted to the rocker cover or the inlet manifold. I have chosen to do it this way simply because I cannot bring myself to spend £40-£100 on a throttle linkage. Saying that I would prefer one of those carb mounted, double springed affairs.

So on the off chance that one of you might have a throttle linkage for some twin carbs, preferably Dellortos, that they have hanging around and they wouldn't mind selling it to me for up to £30 it would me much appreciated. I am not fussy about condition, reconditioning is far easier than creating something from scratch.

I know its a long shot but I thought I might as well ask before I devote a lot of time and effort into manufacturing something myself.

Thanks,

Will
