dscottdatsun Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I have been working at getting my 510 back on the road. I was having trouble with the linkage to the SU's on my L20B. There was a little binding and it wouldn't go to WOT. I considered making an adapter bracket like I have seen in some of the other builds here on Ratsun, but I wanted something a little bit more. So I contacted Mike (mklotz70) and arranged a meeting to share my idea. He worked up a prototype and after a couple of meetings with some fitting this is what we came up with. This is what Mike has put together as the final design. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Looks nice. How is it better than the factory twin-carb throttle linkage? Or is it a replacement for worn-out stock linkage? Quote Link to comment
dr.feltersnatch Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 looks good. will you be cutting it out of aluminum angle? Quote Link to comment

Maybe because he has an L20B, the height would make the linkage bind? I'm guessing. I think that looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment

Or is it a replacement for worn-out stock linkage? This replaces the factory pivot bracket on the firewall. This was either a fixed rubber and steel bushing or a plastic ball, both in a stamped bracket. We're using a heim joint, as the pivot, threaded into our new bracket. My idea in making this was to move the pivot up and over like the brackets I have seen others do. Its hopefully just a little better looking. looks good. will you be cutting it out of aluminum angle? The current prototype is made from aluminium angle, but I believe Mike is talking about carving them out of a block if/when he makes more. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Actually.....they'll still probably be made from angle, just a bigger piece. I think we used 2"......so it would need to be 2.5" or 3". I should put the heim in the CAD drawing. :) Quote Link to comment
