Throttle cable bracket

[Gadgetman]

Does anyone have a picture of the throttle cable installation at the carbs on a vitesse 6 ( strombergs) mine has some home made brackets that need replacing! The parts book doesn't help much.

This is a MK2 Vitesse - not sure if its what you are looking for

Check out https://www.canleyclassics.com/triumph-vitesse/ and scroll down to acceleration control . Unfortunately none are available for purchase though will give you details on making one

was yours orig with strombergs or have they been fitted to replace the solex 's 

mine  Vit6 was a rod throttle which was simply converted to raise a lever on the rear carb  when we converted her.

if you have a cable throttle it could be from much later and made to suit 

sorry dont have a photo of the cable or rod set up

Hi Pete it's a 67 vitesse 6 so I'd think it was Strombergs from new. It has a throttle cable. I wonder if the engine and manifold was changed out and the new one didn't have threads for the bracket as the new one is a real Heath Robinson assembly!

looks like it's time to go on a bracket hunt or dig the files out to make a new one....

can you load a picture ??

The GT6 of the same era had the rod operation and twin Strombergs... however I know the late Vitesse 2.0 litre had the cable setup with the bracket shown in the picture.

If all else fails, you can adapt a Herald 1200 version which is very common. Another very similar bracket is the accelerator pedal bracket (part 2 in the picture), available new from manufacturers - worth a try if nothing else turns up.

Made one for my 68 Vitesse from Stainless Steel flat bar (strip) about the same width and thickness as the bonnet check straps, bolt is UNC to the manifold.

The 67 2Litre Vitesse I have has the rod arrangement.
