Tomtr250 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 As the title, I've fitted a set of webers on my RHD 250, the kit came with the usual overhead linkage and a Bastuck manifold, whats the best way to connect the throttle cable? Anyone got any photos of their set up please? If email is easier I'm at ..................tomatr250@gmail.com thanks in advance Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi Tom, Presumably the Bastuck manifold and throttle linkage kit that you have is like this one in a link on eBay from Southwell, not far from you? Triumph TR6 Triple Weber Inlet Manifold. New & Boxed. Parts Project | eBay I believe that's designed for use with a long bell crank and turnbuckle swivelling on the bush in the triangular plate below the manifold under inlets to cylinders 5 & 6. It's made for a connection from the long LHD throttle pedal running across the bulkhead. Assuming, as per your question, that you want to use a cable connection then it's best to cut that triangle off. It's redundant and just gets in the way of fixing the inlet and exhaust manifold stud fixing "slugs" and nuts. I made up a small bracket to sit on top of the centre carb for my TR6 race car to connect the cable to and act as a buttress to pull against. It uses a standard Weber part as the base, see link - Base Plate LP1000/2000 | Webcon UK Ltd See attached photos. I only have 2 throttle cables to cover the situation if a break one in a race to let me carry on. I note that you're from Nottingham. I live at Retford, Notts so if you want to come and have a look get hold of me via a PM. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Tom, Forget to say, that uses standard TR5/6 PI throttle cables. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
