Cable for DCOE - Manta B

chefyong · 05-12-2009

What accelerator cable to you use to have the cable pull in the middle of the two carbs rather than on the side. It seems the original cable is short to be installed in the middle. This is for a Manta B.

Thanks

Lokar cable. Available through Summit Racing on line, or any
local hot rod shop.

Well, there was an Ascona B model that came with dual Solex carbs so that may be somewhere to look. I'd have to look at the one on my car. Seems like it was a pretty factory looking piece but I did have to replace the actual cable with a bicycle cable and solder the linkage end on, etc.

I have 2 B chassis cars, a Manta and an Ascona.
