Throttle linkage recommendations for dual DCOE 45

Post by stormhunt »

Hello,

I am currently running a pair of DCOE 45s with a janky solution of parts I found in some bins and ordered online(as opposed to proper linkages). I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a good linkage that I could fit on the car. I am running a dbilas intake manifold so no predrilled holes to mount on exist. Also, if you have any info on how hard it is to convert to dual throttle cables it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Felix

I am using something similar at the moment but was looking online at some rod style linkage.

You might want to consider universal throttle linkage kits, as they offer flexibility for various setups like yours. Brands like Weber and Redline offer options that can accommodate DCOE 45s. As for dual throttle cables, it's usually a straightforward conversion, but it depends on your car's specific setup. You may need to fabricate brackets or adapters to accommodate the extra cable. It's worth consulting with a mechanic or specialist familiar with your car model for personalized advice.
