Fit the rod ends to the inside of the input levers with AN3-8A bolts fitted through the input
levers, then an AN960-416 (3/16”) flat washer, then the rod end followed by an AN960-515
(1/4”) flat washer and a Nyloc nut as shown in the photo on the previous page.
Fit the input shaft pivot blocks
In this step we will fit the input shaft pivot blocks to the sides of the panel housing.
With the cross shaft secured in place, put the panel housing on
it‟s back so that the panel opening faces upwards. Screw the
throttle input shafts onto the rod ends on the input levers with
a drop of Loctite 242 on the threads and tighten firmly.
Temporarily fit the instrument panel to the panel housing with
cloth tape, making sure that the throttle input shafts go
through the correct holes in the instrument panel. Centre each
throttle input shaft in its hole in the panel by using a small
length of rubber hose as shown arrowed at right.
Mark a line on each side of the panel housing along the centreline of each throttle shaft.
Remove the instrument panel and set aside. Mark and drill the 3/16” and 1/2” holes as shown
in the photo at above left.
Mix a small batch of flock and apply to the base of the pivot block mount spacer and then bolt
the pivot block mount spacers to each side of the housing with an AN3 bolt through the 3/16”
hole as shown in the photos above.
Drill 3 x 3/16” holes evenly spaced around the flange of the pivot block mount spacer and fit
in place with TLR pop rivets as shown in the photos above. Leave overnight to cure.
Cut a length of Bundy tube to fit through the bolt hole in the pivot blocks.
Next day slip a throttle stop ring and a pivot block over each throttle input shaft and bolt
through the pivot block and Bundy tube and the pivot block mount spacer with an AN3-17A
bolt with a penny washer under the Nyloc nut tighten the nuts to safety.
The 1/2” hole will be used later for throttle idle stop adjustment.
