[Healeys] BJ8 Carburetor Throttle Shaft

[John Harper]

I am wondering if other have the same experience. Admittedly on A-H 100 
and early models, I have found that these shaft pins are actually 
tapered. Being so they will only come out easily in the way they were 
fitted. Replacement shaft kits recently purchased from Burlen called up 
taper pins in there instruction sheet but they only supplied straight 
pins. Perhaps there is some sense in this because not many owners will 
have a set of taper reamers. Luckily I have and put the pins back as 
original. A plain pin will work I suspect but is rather a compromise.

Regards
