Hi Guys n gals
anyone have experience of the accelerator linkeage upgrade supplied by Buttys bits in UK?? I wasn't getting nowhere near full range of throttle through my existing mechanism so purchased the full kit.
Just wandering if anyone has any pics of their installation?
Cheers
Tony |

I have the rusties version. Cheaper, and great quality as well.

I have the Butty's Bits linkage for FI, and it works great. And was pretty simple to install.

My pics are included is at least one of those links above. I've installed the kit on my own 1971 as well as a customers. I like it. You can get it from a guy here in California instead of paying the shipping from Europe. Pretty sure he advertises them on eBay or the samba classifieds.
