Bruce Reader Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have been messing (Tuning throttle bodies etc)on the Scura and have buggered the black plastic connector that attaches to the right side of the connecting rod that synchronises the throttle butterfly valves. Does anyone know where i can get one ? It is not a seperate listed part in the 2002 parts manual. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Bruce p.s Ditto for the connecting rod. I can have one made if need be. p.p.s I recently found that my steering head bearings were well and truly stuffed-Mostly right side damage. They felt fine untill i removed the wheel and forks off the front then click, click click. Worth checking next time the forks are off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRENTTODD Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I am not completly sure if the size will be right but on rc cars they use those type of ball snap connectors I would check in a local hobby shop to see maybe they have something for ya Good luck Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce It's just a small ball joint (try Google) with M5 (I think) threads. You will need to file/grind off the old one revitted to the lever connected to the throttele body very carefully.

Someone claimed to have found one that fits the existing ball, from an old Volvo engine... ["wait a minute..." pause while searching Centauro forums] ...and here's a tip from cog: "Mercedes throttle rod end, p/n 000 991 88 22" should fit without hassle: http://www.centauro-owners.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=10729 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
