Zimm Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have a TR3A with TR4A carbs. Finally looking to replace the jury rigged choke cable set up. TR3 cable is too short, TR4 barely clears the heater and is just a bit short. Does anyone know of an off the shelf substitute, or do I need to figure out how to make a choke cable?

Hamish Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Car builder solutions have 1.5m choke cables. But the usual co. Should have some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Quite a few like this on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOCKING-CHOKE-CABLE-QUALITY-60-CLASSIC-MINI-ANGLIA-UNIVERSAL-/372577672669?hash=item56bf5c1ddd £8.49 post free. I bought one a few months ago and it seems fine. (Fitted to my TR3a with strombergs.) Charlie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Zimm, - I put complete 4A engine in my 3A some 40 years ago with never a problem with the choke.. Can send you a picture tonight but, as per above, looks like you are sorted.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zimm Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Was hoping to keep the original knob and locking function. Generic can probably work. I may use one to get the set up right, and then modify an original. This is a solvable probem, just looking for shortcuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I grafted an original knob onto one of these replacements, (the locking variety). Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
