A Possible Linkage Cure?????
 
I've been working on a linkage setup for some time. I have a type 4 with an original OPP shroud and found the hex bar setup to clumsy and kinda ugly. I don't want to bore you with details and such, so here are some pictures of my solution.

Here's a clip of the intial startup and the linkage in action. I'm using a Megajolt/EDIS setup.

I WANT ONE. I would like to buy a couple pairs of pulleys for Dells.

Me too!! Very nice indeed.

Are you making any or was this a one off?

Is it a cable all the way to the pedal or is there some interface between the cables?

Pablo, I'm currently looking at getting parts made, will see how that goes.

As for the cable, yes it goes all the way to the pedal. I made a transition of sorts, that adapts the original accelerator tube to the new cable...works pretty good :) I also use 2 different type of cables. One type for the accelerator and another type between the carbs.

I sent Jake an early proto-type, sometime last year.

Pete,
Have you looked any further into producing a few sets of these yet? Or even just the wheels and brackets. I'm keen to change the setup I have.

Xellex May 24th 2010 07:18

ever since I've first read this topic (and the STF one), it stuck to my mind so badly that I can't get this idea out of my head. I keep thinking about replicating the setup, but it would be so much easier if we could just buy it from you, and not try to reinvent what you've worked on for a few years now..
So, any longer till you get these out on the market? :D
