So I have an 18RC for my 73 and it has this linkage throttle, is there a good replacement cable for that setup that I can do without having to get a new pedal? I have looked and can’t find any of the original linkages and the plastic ends are broken on the main linkage. I want to get this figured/fixed at the same time as the Weber carb I intend to install. Looking for new rather than going to salvage yards if possible since I haven’t seen any thing in the yards here in a long time.
I made a pedal out of sheet metal and used the stock pedal mount. Universal Lokar throttle cable and this kit https://www.lceperformance.com/Webe...3mUwEYNJdM-3G-8UowfUwOTGN4fjMemIaAjhAEALw_wcB
Someone had already swapped a 20R into it but rigged up the throttle and it didnt even function so i did away with the factory linkage and made my own set up work
Don't write off salvage yards, just yet. Some cars came with steel linkage ends. For example (IIRC), my 1979 Celica had linkage with the steel ends with spring clips. You might try looking for those. I hate throttle cable conversions. I had dual mikunis on my 20R in my Celica and tried the cable setup that came in the kit. It made the throttle super stiff due to drag in the cable even after I greased it. Made my own linkage setup and the throttle was almost as light as stock.
