Im trying to connect together my new Jenvey DTH TB's to fit them to an ABF which is going into my mk1 clipper. i was initially sent the linkage kit with the overhead link bar (LB01) which i decided was wrong. so i had emerald send me the underslung bracket LBU2. Im a bit reluctant to send the original bracket back just yet until im sure ive got the right one. shall i take the throttle cable in from the LHS or RHS of head looking from the front of the car? this pic taken from Forum member TIGZ post. thankyou. this was the best pic i could find of the linkage setup. my bodies wont allow for the same central connection. does anyone have a picture of the linkage connected to DTH bodies on an ABF where the throttle is connected at the outside.?
Given that the throttle cable emerges from the left hand side bulkhead, to me it makes the most sense to bring the cable in from the left side. Although these aren't DTH, they're the same bodies essentially, with what I assume is LB01:
thanks for that. ive just clicked why everyone with DTH's have a totally different linkage to the jenvey setup. the underslung LBU2 WILL NOT work with DTH's on an ABF due to the coolant outlet and the LB01 linkage has different bolt centres from the DTH bodies. So apparently i need a Badger 5 linkage, the same as Brooksters setup? unless theres a mod that can be done to the coolant pipe?
From the pic you posted, the underslung does appear to fit the bodies, even if it would foul the water pipe, so why won't a DTH version for the upper side fit? DTH are made by Jenvey. I held off mentioning the Badger5 linkage, since you'd already bought parts, but that is the other option.
they dont supply a DTH upper side version at the mo, seems a bit strange, cant see it being too much hassle to knock one up?
Right, I understand. This may explain why the Badger one is made. You've 2 choices: either get someone to create one that fits the DTH, by chopping and welding / sell what you don't need, or clear the lot out and get the Badger one.
just spoke to Leoni at Emerald, shes going to speak with Jenvey about the problem and refund my 88+vat. now ive just got to get in touch with Badger5, phone's been going to answer
you can always leave an answerohone message, thats what its there for My t'mech is 108+vat and allows use of stock throttle cable on 16v motors seems many people this week as after this after buying Jenveys, and Jenveys selling mechs they know dont blummin work.. doh!
I had similar issues recently when converting a customers car, they were supplied an underslung linkage by another "specialist" which obviously fouled the wateroutlet etc. In trying to save the chap some money I made a bracket to mount on the cam cover and used the underslung linkage on the top which when pulled as it would be operated the throttle. The throttle cable is a mixture of o.e and the Jenvey item. If you dont have the equipment to make something tho the easiest solution would be Bill's quadrant.
Has nobody blanked the front coolant outlet off the head and used the one under the dizzy? I started a thread asking this as some of the early 8v racers did this and also the later 8v crossflow and 20v engines only have the outlet at the end of the head. It would make fitting various induction setups much easier.
Yes, the outlet off the side of the head. I can see the hole needing to be made slightly larger but after comparing the head gaskets from different engines there were no differences in the coolant holes to control flow to the middle or the end of the head.
