Willie Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know where I can obtain an actuating rod and a trunnion for opening/closing the scuttle flap which is acually the correct diameter to accommodate the aftermarket larger diameter rod? Or, a s/h set? Heater scuttle flap currently remains closed! My experience is that trunnion AUE34 is far too small. Best wishes Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MKTR Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Hi Willie, Threads seem to indicate that this has been an issue for a while https://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/19382-fresh-air-vent-flap/ but AUE34 can be drilled out to accommodate the rod. Otherwise it is a matter of sourcing a used item or a similar part like bike cable fixings with the right diameters e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADJUSTABLE-THROTTLE-VINTAGE-SCOOTER-MOTORBIKE/dp/B075ZYNJ2G?th=1 Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie Posted November 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Hi Mark, AUE34 is too small to drill out to be wide enough. I am hoping someone can steer me to a supplier of a giant version of AUE34. The unit supplied is in reality the size for clamping the heater cable to its water valve. best wishes.

Willie Posted November 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I ordered the part in the link. It arrived today, but unfortunately the outer body diameter looks to be smaller than AUE34! Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Long shot…… Do you have a heater water valve on your engine? Is the trunion on the cable clamp the right sort of diameter? The cable hole will be too small but perhaps it will drill or file out to accept the 1/8” diameter rod . It uses the same locking screw as the trunion you are after. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325851446258?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-153316-527457-8&mkcid=2&itemid=325851446258&targetid=4585032215660911&device=t&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=554648192&mkgroupid=1302922387078119&rlsatarget=pla-4585032215660911&abcId=9323209&merchantid=87779&msclkid=fc8a7afebd551084502a1f99ce429143 Edited November 29, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Photo and link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie Posted November 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Great suggestion Peter. At £3.85 inc postage, I've sent for one. See pic attached for size comparison with AUE34. The unit is obviously larger. Best wishes Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
