I need the (3.8" x 1 1/2" ? ) stud which screws into the left hand carb body (1980 Spitfire 1500) and has a hollowed out 1/2" hex head into which you insert the end of the choke operating connecting shaft to the other carb. The stud on mine is sheared off flush in the carb. As you can tell I don't know what it's called and can't really find it mentioned anywhere ! The ones for the throttle connecting shaft are most likely the same.

Perhaps you can even tell me what the darned thing is called to make my search easier ?

Thanks, Tim

Thanks Pete. I'll do that. I sent photo to SUcarb.co.uk but they did warn on the site that response is likely to be very slow. On the bright side, at least I now know why the linkages and associated quadrants etc on that carb always seemed rather wobbly causing that choke to  stick on randomly causing rich running on cylinders 3 & 4 and tickover all over the place..
