I got a new 2-1/2 or 5 ton Hand throttle cable from Saturn Surplus to replas one some twit cannibalized in service from my 1971 Kaiser Jeep M-35A2 Wo/W "Saddam's Nightmare" , as the ghost of it was in the dashboard paint. I routed it down through the hole above the throttle linkage for the accellerator pedal, and hooked it up to the top ear of the accellerator where the return spring connects by the injector pump, and, GUESS WHAT- No movement due to there being a missing bracket off the frame, engine or that area of the truck's fenders!!!
NO GHOSTS of a bracket, But I KNOW, that there has to be some way to restrain the lower end of the hand throttle cable sheath from moving. SOOOOOO.... What's missing, where do I find it, and where do you attach it???
ANY GOOD DRAWINGS OR PHOTOS OF WHERE THE HAND THROTTLE ATTACHES TO THE ACCELLERATOR LINKAGES?????? I don't have an M-35 in the area to interrogate tha has this set up, otherwise I would. Any information would be greatly appreciated, as the paper copies of my GS and DS manuals on the truck, and the spare parts books haven't arrived yet, and the -10 is of no use in this matter.
Thanks Again,
Sincerely,
