All Alloy Cup progress

Here’s some photos of the throttle linkage and SU  carb pipe work and filter I’ve temporarily fitted.

Note the 3 x small loose collars on the throttle cross shaft to locate everything, two between the mounting points and one to locate the slow running lever against the stepped boss of the accelerator pedal. I’ll either pin these or drill and tap them for grub screws.

The carb is in approx the correct position, I used 2 ft of piping and put a coil in it to absorb some vibration that might set up between the engine and the bulkhead.

I soldered the banjo and Union using my Creme Brûlée torch... Now trying to figure out the optimum length/ angle of the control rod linkage from SU butterfly shaft to the operating end of the throttle cross shaft and pick two control rod ends which work smoothly.

I’ve got all the bits for the choke control too ( a pivot bracket, Ruby dash choke  and some SS 2mm rod. But can’t fit those till the engine and bulkhead are finally fitted. One or two minor steering wheel things to attend to before refitting the column .

All fiddly jobs but quite satisfying.
