I'm trying to fit some SU's to the 101 (finally! Ta Lee!), but i cant
seem to work out how the accelerator linkage connects properly. I have
linked the carbs, but am now trying to link the cables to the carb.

Can anybody point me to or provide a diagram or some decent piccys.

I've got a bit that looks like tit repaces the current pivotty
accelerator bit that goes through a hole in the manifold but cant seem
to get it in a position when i can connect both the accelerator cable
and the carb to it!

ta derek, didnt see that bit!

the diagram on page 9 looks like a goodun - though the linkages in that
look bugger all like the bits Lee has given me!!

its part 26 on that diagram and back to the cable im having trouble
with. The one in that pic looks kinda like the stromberg one that came
off - which is nowt like the SU one im trying to fit!

Lee - have you mixed some jag bits up with this lot to confuse me? ;)

Its a ubiquitous bit of kit is the HIF44 / HIF6 as well as the landys it
seems to be on most BHell cars of the period ( with occasional extra
bits)SD1,montego,maestro,metro's,hot mini's, MGB, and I think some of the
later 8 series Rovers so theres likely to be plenty of spares about - me I
always had problems finding somebody who had the right needles and jets (
Rimmers do now ) on the odd few I played with.(1360 mini, MGB)  might just
be you have linkages off an SD1?

Ive got the right needles (tis why im fitting them over the strombergs!)

The dodgy geezer i got them off said they fitted on the 101! ;)

Are the parts for the LR linkage still available? could get them from
beamends if so. can anybody tell me where i might find the parts book
for the RR su carbs?

I think ive worked it out now! my linkages are not the RR ones. maybe
off an SD1?

This is what they look like:

current connection to the throttle clevis is a bit dodgy but i think i
can refine that with a bit of welding!

Hi Tom,
   Ive got Su's on my V8 Hybrid, so if your around sheffield and want to
have a look at mine, let me know.

also Chatsworth motor spares, used to have all this stuff in stock, but not
sure if they are still around? :-(

Where abouts in the world are you Tom?   I'm near Huntingdon, and have
got SUs on my 101 (bought it that way) and you would be welcome to
have a crawl over it.

I'll try and take some pictures otherwise, but probably not going to
get time till Monday.

Dude!

I've been away a couple of days, sorry to prolong your agony ;-)

They are most likely Sd1 as the lunps I had were both SD1 and it's probably
that Morph went with the bit still on him that you need. On your picture the
shaft that goes through the manifold was replaced and the throttle cable
fastened which would have been just off the bottom of your picture. Look see
if you have owt like that... otherwise it's still on Morph or on Percy.

other stuff doing on it too!

You did give me the shaft, and i've now worked out how to fit it! Its
getting lightly reworked tommorrow with the grinder and welder to make
it work a bit better, but test fit using a cable tie gave me 90%
throttle movement :)

I've managed to make the choke linkage fit properly too :).

Just got to work out how to fit the choke cable to it, and get my fuel
lines extended so that they fit, and jobs a goodun :)

Think it was an sd1 - have found a pic of what it used to look like!

I've got a cracking pair of SU's...
Derek - 16 May 2008 17:51 GMT
Tom have a look at this lot makes me fancy a V8 again
http://www.mez.co.uk/ms12.html.

SU's are near the bottom but not very detailed.
