Hi,
Currently I am continuing my Austin Devon restoration. I am finding a difficulty on how to connect the throttle linkage to the carb and to the steel rod which goes behind the engine and to the accelarator pedal. Any close up photos of this part of the engine (carb, linkage and steel arm) or any advice will help.
Thanks to all.
Cheers

Thanks Craig, hope it will help I think that the rod connected to the accelerater had been modified on my Devon . It is curved where it connects to the linkage.
Regards,
Victor

Hi Craig,
Thank you once again. The photo helped and I have straightened the steel arm to take the linkage to the carb without any problems.
Kind regards,
Victor
