Hi guys. I'm looking for a spare throttle rod (I guess that's what you'd call it) for my 240. This is the little rod that connects the accelerator pedal assembly to the rest of the throttle linkage, and it has a little ball and socket at each end. This is the piece that actually goes through the firewall and is covered by the throttle boot....

I was removing mine to replace the almost completely disentegrated original boot, and the plastic ball on the engine side of the rod snapped off in my hand....

If anyone has one, or knows of a decent place to source this little item, let me know?

I will take a look, I may have one. JLP

Hi Bre,

Send me your address and I'll send you one.....what year?

You can also buy high quality all-metal links at www.piercemanifolds.com. That is what I've used at the pedal and carbs. A lokar cable operates the rest of it.

I see the all-metal rods come with their own ball studs, do they pop off and fit the Zcar balls?

(never thought about Zcars having balls before)

Yes check with pierce manifolds. They do have alot of stuff there. They are here locally where i live in gilory.We go there for webber gaskets.

They do pop on and off. You have to install the cup over the ball at a slight angle for the internal spring clip. Also, there's a retainer pin to ensure they don't come loose until you want them too.The ball is 8mm diameter (I believe) which is the same as the Nissan piece.

I found one, do you still need one? Let me know. JLP

Jerry, thanks for the offer. I think dspillman has me covered, though. Thanks to everyone else for all of the suggestions and good advice!

Let me know if anything changes, I will hold onto it. JLP

Thanks Jerry, I really appreciate it.
