catastrada Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm completing the installtion of my new 2.3 Duratec in my RHD S3 Chassis.The throttle linkage still need to be fixed. I found quite a lot of archives on the BC but as they are quite o!d no links (pictures, web pages...) Are working.The general point of view says the Jenvey linkage is not the best solution.So any suggestion is more than welcome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendennis Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The Jenvey linkage is the best solution mounted underneath TBs long cable clipped to stays and chassis rail, no sharp bends but you may wish to put some heat shield around cable near exhaust primaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thanks a lot for the reply.Is it this linkage kit and those brackets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendennis Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Linkage kit is correct but not sure on the brackets, my linkage bolts to the back of the TB bottom trumpet bolt cylinders 1 & 2 so don't think I used those brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 i made a simple L shape fixed to the big blanking plate underneath the throttle body's for a simple vertical action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi Elie,Initial plan was a cheap solution like this one but I then decided ti reuse the same linkage I used for several years on my 2.0 L as it was 100% reliable and worked perfectly.
