Needles & Pins

Post by sloopjohnrb »

I've been trying to find a part for ages without success.
1962,948 cc.

The part is called, a "Ferrule Pin", a "Barrel" or sometimes a "Clevis" Pin, but basically it's the chrome like round fitting that the accelerator cable passes through on it's way to the carb.
It seems to be secured with some sort of split-pin or circlip, but it's hard to tell as this seems to have fallen off.
I attach a picture below, the part is numbered, "44".

Where can ID get one of these?

hello,
Thanx for your reply.
The part you suggest is for the choke cable(see attached pic) whereas the part I need is for the accelerator cable. numbered 44, in the first picture.
Thanx again for contacting me, wonder if you can direct me to the part?

Easy to make one - by drilling a hole through a bolt and nipping the cable between two nuts(with washers) - one either side of the hole.
