GT6 Mike Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I have recently purchased a pair of refurbished Stromberg CD150 carbs for a Mark 1 GT6. Does anyone know where I can find a pair of coupling rods with connectors? My original ones have nylon connectors and pins but would like to keep the original set as complete and find alternatives for the new carbs. Diagram attached to show what I am after. Any ideas? Alternative ideas would be appreciated also as I am guessing very difficult to find. Cheers Mike Stromberg Carbs rev 1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I remember a few owners looking for these some time back; the originals are unavailable (although that's a phrase I've come to disregard in many other cases, some may yet turn up!); some of the modellers on here adapted metal clamps, otherwise other forums advise that you can use the TR6 version of the clamps.

68vitesse Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Made these up for my Mk1 Vitesse, the uj's, had to be drilled to fit carburettor spindles, are sold for model cars and boats. Regards Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Whilst Zenith are carb specialists they do stock linkage parts. I got a new spring linkage when I rebuilt mine (although mine was a Mk3 (CD150SE)). Take a look on their website. You can buy a brass rod if needed and cut it to length. I bought a tube to cut to a small collar to accommodate the smaller throttle spindle diameter as the original is as Colin said 'no longer available'.

Colin Lindsay Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Spotted, Dave! Those don't often come up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 Mike Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thanks for all of these replies - Dave - exactly correct .......and I missed them! (definitely a case of snooze, you lose).... I cannot believe that they were actually up there for sale on Ebay after I had given up looking! Paul - I like the look of that arrangement as an alternative. Will respond to all of these replies / suggestions directly. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1360 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 You may have missed them last time, but they're back again: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353850791946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't miss these but if you do it might be worthwhile giving him a call; that might just be the ones he has listed, not his entire stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for drawing these t my attention - very grateful and excited to have found them. Cheers. Mike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a very very long search cannot believe that suddenly three pairs come up! Anyway thanks you for your input and suggestions - very much appreciated. Cheers.
