AndyK Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Can anyone tell me if Malcolm is still working. His website says he is now part time. I have been trying to email him but no reply and I did get a reply from another supplier of throttle linkages who said Malcolm had stopped working. I k ow he is very highly thought of so hoping he is still doing his magic. Edited July 16, 2019 by AndyK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I know you can only contact him by email, nowadays, and he was still working a couple of months ago. Edited July 17, 2019 by Paul Hill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard71 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I've been waiting for a reply to an email for over 10 years, more recently 3 months, no answer to phonecalls either. If it's a throttle linkage you want then I've just had a Revington version fitted and it works perfectly. Richard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRTOM2498PI Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I understand Malcom has now retired, I believe ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TriumphV8 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Look for Neil Ferguson. And if I may give you a hint, it is essential to get rid of any play between spindle and throttle body. At CP otherwise, when opening of plates starts, the spindle lever does not rotate to open the plates but the whole spindle is lifted. This ends with a bad sync. The best new ball joints will not perform well if the thrpttle spindles have play and the supporting shaft underneath in the three rubber bearings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neil T Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi, Malcolm is indeed now semi retired, however he is still in business (for now). I spoke to him about a month ago, but he now does prefer if you just email him. He will get back to you eventually. I think he checks emails once a week or so. He has replied to all of mine, but not right away. His website states that he is now semi retired and you should just use the email shown on the website. Also there is now no VAT on his prices, although I did notice that his prices had gone up anyway. I have recently purchased a set of Injectors from him and also sent out a Metering Unit and throttle bodies to Malcolm for reconditioning. Malcolm is still very busy with a backlog of work, so I thought I would get the parts sent off for recon before he packs up for good ! Cheers, Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
