[Healeys] off by 3/16"

[Greg Mandas]

Naw,  I think I'm OK. When the nylon bushing broke the previous owner welded a
nut on top of the choke cable retaining bracket. What could be wrong with
that? It'll never break.
Wink WInk.
Thanks Alan. I'll get right on it.

Greg -
That's what the two circlips are for use with the throttle shaft in the nylon
bracket.  It is smart to purchase two nylon brackets, keep one in your
glovebox as a spare just in case the one on the intake manifold breaks.
 Incidentally, the slop in your throttle is potentially very very bad - you
don't want your throttle stuck wide open, you can fry your motor or pull a
Prius unless you know what you are doing.
Incidentally, I recommend to all that the throttle linkage on your cars should
absolutely positively be completely sorted per factory / shop manual with all
slop taken out - depending on the car's condition it'll take somewhere between
an hour to 4 hours - and you will be shocked at how much power your car has at
full throttle.
