[Healeys] linkage ball & socket

[Warthodson at aol.com]

Several club members are working on restoring their throttle linkages &  need 
to replace some badly worn ball & socket assemblies. Two of  them have 
examined the replacements being sold by Victoria British  & have reported that they 
are very poor quality. I have not seen them  myself, but apparently the ball & 
sockets are a very loose fit, resulting in  lots of slop & the "clip" 
assembly is also not well manufactured. I  know, in general, the replacement parts 
from Burlen are of very good  quality but have never purchased the ball & socks 
from them. Have any  of you purchased these from Burlen & what have you 
thought of the quality? I  would be surprised if there were several companies 
actualling  manufacturing these items. Any other thought or suggestions would be  
welcome.
