Hi all

Here a update about my project of my carrier.
Between some visits of military events and a busy period(the summer months) of my work I still found some free time for working at my carrier.
I have take out all the broken rivets and repair some bad places and start for clean up/paint some small parts.
At April i travel to Italy for visit 2 carrierowners for pickup some carrier parts.
I want to ask if there is some one who had a clear/close up photo of the connector of the accelerator rod what is on the leftside of the driver seat.
The one i have is broken(see photo's) but for the moment this broken part/the picture of the manual give me not enough information for repair this part and what kind of steel are use for this part.

Cheers.

Marcel.

Marcel, The material is spring steel, the same thickness (about 0.055", from memory) as the piece you have. The part you have fits in the hole so that will give you the length.
There are 3 leaves including the part you have. There is also a small steel clamping part that goes under the bolt heads.
This assembly is your main throttle return spring (there is another light one at the engine)
I will find a photo.

Nice Marcel, I have yet to start my two carriers.
You can use an old wood saw for the spring steel.
Good luck and keep posting.

Yes Marcel, three pieces, all the same width but different heights. In the picture they look bent, but are straight.
