Throttle bell crank problem-solver from JWest

Hi everybody, we've got another innovation just added to the Pelican Parts catalog.

Background: The factory changed the throttle bell crank (mounted to the gearbox) many times over the years. New replacements have been merged down to only one version for each major change, even though the originals had many versions with minor length and angle differences. As one expert told me "I have a bucket full of these, and none of them are ever right!"

Enter our adjustable bell crank. Width, rotation, and lever length adjustments make it a universal replacement for upgrading stock or fitting a weird combination of parts. It will install on late 356, '65-'89 911, and even 914/6.

Aluminum anodized for protection and good looks, oilite bronze bushings for smooth action, and a precision machined shoulder bolt to replace the original shaft.


Here's the link to the Pelican catalog location, and there is even a sale on all JWest products right now!

Solved my problem already. I had an "over-center" feel with the initial movement of the throttle pedal. With a bit of lever arm fancy footwork, this solved the problematic feel when moving the ITBs off of the throttle stops. Great product.

Very nice. Looks like an easy way to make sure you get 100% throttle opening.

This adjustable crank really solves the mismatch problem across all those versions.
