Staghound throttle linkage adjustment question
Hi, We have a Staghound on loan and I'm working on setting up the throttle linkages which are out of adjustment.
The pic below is from the manual and shows the throttle linkage "checking gauge". This is an important tool for the initial step of setting the correlation between the hydraulic slave cylinder idler lever mounted on the right hand transmission bell housing and the link rod up to the right hand carb. Not having this makes the setup a bit hit and miss. Does anyone have one? I don't need the tool but I'd really appreciate a sketch or photo with dimensions. Thanks, Malcolm Ontario Regiment Museum Throttle linkage checking gauge.JPG |

Malcolm.
Try sending a PM to Marco in Holland on MLU. He has done a complete rescue/restoration on an actual XII Manitoba Dragoon’s Staghound, traced the crew and the whole nine yards. David |

Thanks for the responses and PMs. I've contacted the various people suggested.
I understand why these tools were provided back in the day but it really bugs me that the manuals so often didn't give a sketch of simple tools like this for the people 75 years later who are working on these vehicles. |
