I need to make a new advance/retard control linkage for my 1912 Alldays but can't seem to find anyone who sells the bits I need apart from a company called cablecraft.
Any ideas of suppliers?

| Not sure exactly what you need, but guessing that you need some sort of rod ends with spherical bushes. These are usually called Rose Joints and a Google search will give you many options. |

Cheers
As ever with these situations, things move on. A very nice gent from the VCC has given me some great advice and told me that I have the wrong carb! Now, I knew this was the case but didn't realise that it was the wrong size, wrong jets as well as being about 10 years too young.
The venturi tube should be 18mm, comp jets of 100 and idle of 60 rather than the existing 26mm tube, 120 comps and 50 idle not to mention that the carb should be a 30mm not a 36mm! Luckily he is able to help me find a suitable carb (also bronze zenith updraft) all sorted and ready to go with a range of jets to get it running nice and sweet.
In the meantime I'm getting an 18mm venturi tube made locally and either cope with or borrow some smaller comp jets to get the car running nicely for the summer.

I used this company www.illstonandrobson.com when I made the throttle linkage for the Weber on my Zephyr. They were very helpful & had everything I needed,cheers,JD.
