Mark IV Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Making up a working throttle cable.... Thanks for looking ! Randy Yeah, because working butterflies were not enough you find "micro spring" and cable to go INSIDE IT to make a throttle cable! We are not worthy!!!!!

Codi Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Note to self, need micro-spring...........for you know what. I don't think I've every seen ANY model weber carb, no matter what the scale, as nice as this. I had them on my MGB as a kid, and your pics bring back memories (being an MGB, most weren't that great). The shot with the light shining down through the throat is just a big ol' giggle. Thanks for the update Randy, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I got nuttin . but holy smokes. And I thought the scratch built Weber alone was something, now you making it actually work with a functioning cable and linkages. .you sir are modeling at a different level than 99.999 % of masses.
