Hand Throttle Parts, Can it be MADE??????

[victatwin]

Hi all from Australia, can the parts numbered 79 and 80 below in the diagram be made???(mainly part 79),the lock screw(part 80) could come from the local hardware store , any ideas as I have purchased a complete hand throttle off a fellow pelican as well as a new plastic control fork??(you know, the part that breaks after becoming brittle in the tunnel)and new hand brake boot cover. I have put a WTB in the parts forum for 10 days but no responses,no parts here in Australia,Sooooooo,I`m wondering if it could be made (part 79) any ideas would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks From Oz

I say any part can be made provided you have the tools to make it --- or the resources. Those are small parts... should be relatively easy of inexpensive if you outsource.

Yes, its just a collar with a set screw. Find one the right diameter for the throttle rod. I think its 4mm.

Set screw - hardware store.

Collar - Make from round steel bar stock.

Plastic fork - I machined my own for my '75. PM me an e-mail address and I'll send you the drawing I used.

Thanks for your replies evreyone,this is a great help, as I have not seen the parts up close, (I have some pictures)
fanaudical, many thanks for the round bar idea, also for your offer on the plastic fork, I did buy a new fork though Regards Brett L

You could use the brass insert from a suitably sized electrical connector (the so called chocolate block) Cut the plastic off and then cut a slot in the side of the brass connecter that has the screw threaded into it. Easy peazy, skill knife and hacksaw and you are done.

I used a kit for wire ends. I took some time to machine it right with hand tools but it has hold fine for some time now.

Check with a motorcycle repair shop....they have tons of different size and shape wire fittings that either set screw on...or are soldered.
