Yes mate, Ian is sending me a Throttle knob, but I was thinking I'd get a repro choke and change the cap with an original.
And, it wouldn't hurt to have a swap piece I could do for a Choke one.

So. I'm still looking for a Choke original......

Hey Jon....I talked to Paulie....and we might be able to find one at TP...or rather he might since I may only be able to go there for a half-day on Wednesday this year....working on an event that weekend in San Jose.

Between Paulie, Mitch and yourself ... and I've also asked "The Main Man" I'm confident something will turn up... All I can do is keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks Chuck.......

You need a CHOKE I assume?

Jon,

I have got an original metal choke knob with raised letters that is surplus to requirements if you are still looking. It is still on the metal rod which is seized in the metal tube that attaches to the dash with a couple of inches of the cable and sheath still attached.

PM me if you are interested.

Andrew

Here's a not very good photo - ignore the remains of the rotary wire brush incident to the hand!
