    Details

    This swedged throttle linkage tubing is tapped 3/16" (10-32) LH and RH thread. One end of the throttle rod will have left hand threads, and the other end will have right hand threads. Made of 5/16" x 0.049 round aluminum tubing.  Tube lengths available are offered in 1/2" increments from 3" through 20" tube lengths.

    Note: If utilizing a known or working eye to eye length that is required, you will want to allow 1.5" in length for the rod ends added to the tube length (3/4" of length for each end when calculating your eye-to-eye measurement). For example, if an eye-to-eye working length of 11.5" is required, you need to utilize a 10" swedged tube.

    Overall Assessment

    Customers highly recommend our product for its universal fit, quality, and adaptability in various applications. Whether used on a quad set-up, a Hilborn stack throttle, or a supercharger, it perfectly fits the job. It simplifies the throttle linkage process, is praised for its lightweight and durability, and is known for the correct left-hand threading. Despite some opinions on the rod ends, the rod itself got positive reviews. Announced to never rust, it receives compliments on its aesthetics and material choice. Customers appreciate the custom lengths, allowing suitability for almost any desired application. These robust throttle rods also served in alternative uses, such as wing struts and remote trunk release, with excellent results.

    These make great lightweight wing struts

    Bought these to use on my rear wing for my Limited Street 71 Nova, they worked great. Instead of sPending a bunch of the adjustable struts from chassis shops, used these since I don't plan on moving the wing a great deal (just the wickerbill). Anyway, these worked great, cost was good and the product was nice quality and light. Thanks Speedway...

    Carb linkage adjustable shaft

    Not only do the rod ends seem cheep the instructions for mounting the linkage use faded photos that are hard to understand. The rod itself is good but the rod ends seem link they took some real short cuts in the quality of the material used. Not good.

    Product overall was good. However for my application (dual Stromberg's on Offenhauser intake manifold) I needed to be tight against both ends of the rod. Left hand thread was good. Right hand thread required me to run a tap in to achieve full thread engagement.

    These linkage tubes worked perfectly for my 2X4 Sesco Chevy. I liked the fact that I could order them in any length. This is really important when you need parts for a rare engine. The only reason I gave only 4 stars is that they look kind of thin and fragile. We will have to see if they stand up---they are working for now.

    I'm using these aluminum tubes with your aluminum rod ends and jam nuts. How snug would you recommend the jam nuts be up against the tube? I'm using it in an experimental aircraft throttle linkage so I want it to be snug enough to hold (during considerable vibration) but on the other hand, I don't want to deform the tube by over torquing. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
