    dcoe's in mk2 - throttle cable ?

    is there a throttle cable available that allows twin dcoe use with a standard mk2 escort pedal ? or is a mod to a block on top of pedal shaft needed ?

    I use a std Mk2 throttle cable with the carb end cut off and fixed to a Weber throttle linkage on top of the DCOE's.

    Thanks, that idea did cross my mind although it won't work with the quadrant type linkage I have to hand.
    Have you got a link to the style of linkage you use ? Cheers.

    Im running bike carbs, but your welcome to look at my cable set up.
    I bought a cable kit from DanST and added a 90°elbow at my carb linkage to prevent inner cable fray.

    That's the type I intend to use , do you have a link to your cable ? 😀
    I thought mine would be unsuitable to use as I'm sure it's a plastic wire. I may be wrong.

    It's just a normal Mk2 cable. Don't cut the inner or outer cable just remove all the plastic bits and the spring at the carb end.

    I just checked mine and it's a thick plastic inner cable so i can't see it going into the quadrant or nipple ?
    I see retro ford do one part Tc006
    But I will check for a cheap version first as I'm a tight old git
