Carb linkage help needed

[gcarter]

I know this set up won't fit under my hatch w/the 2" spacer....but it's my intention to use it eventually. I have another hatch w/the makings of a scoop in it.......... But for now, I'll use a standard Holley 1/2" spacer.
But my question is this. What hardware do I need to attach the Merc throttle cable to the carb throttle linkage (see the fuzzy picture of the engine port side). Changing to another type of cable at this point in time would be the wrong answer.
Photos and hardware descriptions would be helpful.

An additional, slightly clearer picture w/the 1/2" spacer under the carb;

With a clasp that attaches to your cable.

And the side mount cable bracket comes in red...

[gcarter]

Thanks Marshal.
But isn't that designed for standard Morse ends (like on my tab indicator cables)?
I think I have a clasp, but there doesn't seem to be a way to attach it to this cable?????

[gcarter]

Yes, and I have a similar bracket too. But this is all Merc stuff that went on the throttle when the deck was still off.
I'm hoping there's a similar bracket that accepts the merc swivel thingie????

[MDonziM]

I'm pretty sure there is a slot in the cable housing under the swivel thingy which is a better mounting system I think.

[MDonziM]

although your cable jacket looks different from what I remember... but I had one of those swivel mounts and went to the clasp.

How about this and in your colour almost

[gcarter]

Yes Ed, something similar to that I think would work.
I did find the "REAL" pieces on the BAM site under old high performance outdrive engine parts.
There seems to be only a few pieces that would be harder to find....a couple of studs and two spacers. I can order them on Monday...

Holley has the studs and bushings for the throttle arm, very common... check their online catalog for part numbers

[gcarter]

Thanks Jim.
I'll do that.

Sounds like you got it covered A couple of double sided shoulder bolt some washers and nylocknuts for the throttle plate and swivel . One to two brackets for the swivel and the return spring. I'll bet your local Merc parts dealer has all that stuff in stock
