There was an early throttle linkage for sideplates that had a spring loaded adjustable linkage between the lever from the firewall and the carby . that seemed to allow for engine movement but I can't recall which model had it [I'm getting old] I seem to recall a slotted bracket that had a hook through where that spring is hooked and an elongated slot where a bolt went through [where that rod is ] so adjustable there with a spring loaded bracket at the other end where the carby [butterfly] was attached with a washer and split pin . If this photo is complete then could someone tell me which model had the extra bracket . Cheers Haydn

Haydn is on the money here, the pics shown are of the FE set up. A problem with this arrangement was that under conditions of excessive engine "rock" the accelerator would operate independently of pedal position.
The FC model incorporated a fix which moved the roll centre of the accelerator in towards the centre of the engine. There is a slotted bracket included.
I don't have a pic of installation in a car but have a linkage here I can photograph if needed.

Thanks John and all who replied, this is the setup I was looking for, I found the linkage and slotted bracket in my boxes of parts now I know how it fits together
Thanks again Gordon
