David Patrick Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi, I've been restoring an ex US TR6 for the past 4 years. Unfortunately, I've been waiting for well over a year for a carb choke cable from Rimmer's who no double have supply issues. Has anyone else have the same problem or a solution.

poolboy Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 The one for the post 72 carbs was a solid single wire inner and there was no return spring on the fast idle cam The pre 73 cables were multi stranded wire inner cable and because there was a return spring, the cable knob had a twist to lock feature. You can use either one if you know what modifications to make... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart. Thanks Stuart, I've also taken your advice and obtained a Heritage certificate which confirms the car is a matching numbers 1975 vehicle. Hopefully this will help with my request for a re-issue of the Nova certificate which states the car is a 1971 model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Patrick Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hi Stuart, thanks for that. I've also taken your advice and obtained a Heritage certificate which confirms this is a matching numbers 1975 car. Hopefully, this will help with my request for a re-issue of the Nova certificate which currently states the car is a 1971 vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David - I easily got a solid wire one on ebay, I think its a standard part used in several Triumphs and Landrovers etc. You need to make sure its long enough . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133608106587 Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spit_2.5PI Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Would the original have had a removable knob? I'm guessing all these are moulded on (like the standard fitment in Spitfires etc.) does anyone know? Cheers, Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Symbol on the UK and European models. ‘CHOKE’ on US models ie carb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
