Hand Throttle mechanism

[Merv]

My BT6 just missed our by 200 cars on the previously standard hand throttle mechanism.  Thinking I would like to fit one.  If there is one around that I could restore or use directly, I would be most interested.

 

EDIT:  I have luckily found one. However I still need the cable and knob is any around?

Thanks Merv

All the pieces seem to be coming together.  I would love to see a photo of the dash position for the B hand throttle knob?

I found a pic of the t5 and t6b the knob is to the right of the tacho. One of 3 on the dash.

Thanks for this.  I now have some RHD images from the UK.  As suspected they are a mirror image in terms of switch position of the LHD ones (above) and in the  RHD cars the hand throttle/fast idle switch is between the taco and combo gauge for the BT6

Cruise Control 50's style Merv.

Nooo. That was how Jim Clark was killed. Cable operated throttle on the dash.

The hand throttle is all done and it works perfectly.  However be warned - SM and other parts are the wrong length in the cable.  All are for LHD and shorter!  You need to extend the Bowden tube or buy a cable yourself and fit it.  I did the extension.
