Our
billet-aluminum throttle linkage directly replaces the bent design factory
rod found on early Ford/Mercury vehicles. Stainless steel adapter components
match the inner diameter of the factory pedal rod facilitating a direct,
trouble-free installation. The straight length of 6061-T6 hex rod eliminates
the possibility of deflection along the linkage and resulting reduction
of throttle response. The rod uses left and right hand threads at opposite
ends to enable a simple adjustment feature not possible with the factory
linkage. Jam nuts secure the adjusted length and ensure the rod ends
remain correctly indexed. Two-piece, mild-steel rods end with high-carbon
chromium steel spherical bearings reduce friction at the pivot points
and improve pedal feel and consistency. All components are anodized,
zinc plated, or stainless steel for corrosion protection and long lasting
performance. |
