those stupid little accelerator linkage clips

[jbeyer]

does any one know where to get these? ive just gotten dumb looks from the guys at the three auto parts store ive tried. i dropped one into the blackhole of camp adventure (thats where i live), and im getting really embarrassed by that piece of wire holding the one of the linkage rods on. just so you know,the adventure around here is doing engine swaps.ive got my 3rd in three months happening next week.

I was having the same problem and ended up going to a hobby shop and buying a "wheel collar" for R/C Airplanes. Basically it is a doughnut shaped piece with a screw you tighten down to hold in place. If you put some lock-tite on it they will hold just fine. Or you can put up 40-50 dollars and go for a throttle cable setup from B.C. Broncos.

If I recall correctly, you can get that part as an assortment from the "HELP" sections of most auto parts stores. You know, the displays with all sorts of odd stuff on red cards they call "HELP."

What a great company! Saved me many times on stuff I thought I'd NEVER find.

I used a tie wrap as a trail fix last summer, and it's still working fine.
If you're really desperate, order from Jeff's. Be aware that the have a minimum shipping charge which is likely alot more than the cost of the clips.

I have also have used a tiewrap. I always have a few with me just in case.

Half my truck is held together with tie wraps.
