I'll snap you a photo of the barrel linkage in place. One of them works, but if I recall correctly, there was no way to use two and get them installed without removing the carbs and linkage.<br>
<br>
I Jet Hot coated both of my manifolds, and wrapped the exhaust header in Thermo-Tec exhaust tape. The Jet Hot keeps the manifolds looking nice, and keeps the header from corroding, but it won't cure your fuel cook-off problems. Your best bet is one of Joe Alexander's heat shields, which I think are being sold through Moss as well. <a href="https://mossmotors.com/aluminum-heat-shield-by-a-r-e-for-zenith-stromberg-carbs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=free&utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4v7154Cx9AIVhcqGCh0tWAy8EAQYAiABEgKXSPD_BwE" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mossmotors.com/aluminum-heat-shield-by-a-r-e-for-zenith-stromberg-carbs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=free&utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4v7154Cx9AIVhcqGCh0tWAy8EAQYAiABEgKXSPD_BwE</a> (<a href="https://mossmotors.com/aluminum-heat-shield-by-a-r-e-for-zenith-stromberg-carbs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=free&utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4v7154Cx9AIVhcqGCh0tWAy8EAQYAiABEgKXSPD_BwE" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mossmotors.com/aluminum-heat-shield-by-a-r-e-for-zenith-stromberg-carbs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=free&utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4v7154Cx9AIVhcqGCh0tWAy8EAQYAiABEgKXSPD_BwE</a>)<br>

Subject: Re: [6pack] Throttle Linkage ?S? Connectors<br>
<br>
To follow up on this I am having my carbs rebuilt this winter (Joe Curto) and was thinking about have the intake and stock exhaust manifolds Jet coated. I am trying to reduce hard starting when hot. Would also like to get the throttle linkages re-plated/refinished and was wondering what is the best way to go?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any feedback<br>
<br>

When I set up my dual ZS175’s I used new link clips from Roadster Factory. They quickly became distorted and introduced slop into the linkage.<br>
<br>
I’m currently using one SU link clip sourced from Richard Good, which is much sturdier and more rust-resistant than the ZS part. I’m also using a single rigid coupling that I sourced from Grainger. I forget why, but installing two shaft linkages was problematic, and the gap between carb throttle shafts was too wide to use two SU linkages.<br>
<br>
I might have one of each in my spares if you need them.<br>
