Rochester B part

Does anyone know where I can get the choke bracket shown in the attachment? I must have misplaced the one on my carburetor.

When do you need it?

I'm making my annual pilgramage to my mother's house in May and might be able to score you one! If you can wait, it's yours!

How'd you do that ? .(color the part in your picture)

I really need to learn cool tricks like that .

That Bowden Cble bracket is prolly the # 1 most needed carby part as folks leave it on thier old carby when they turn it in as a core (to save a lousy $5 !) and then panic when it's gone....

This is why I always tell you to NEVER turn in a core nor toss out an old broken part until the job is 100 % done and you're satisfied .

This piece was gone missing off my '49 3100 when I bought it , I looked on Flea-Bay and bought an entire Rochester series 'B' carby with the bracket and an early dry typ air filter for $5.00 , the shipping was $9.99 I was happy .

 

Isn't it funny!

The things we take for granted are the hardest parts to find nowadays! The simpest parts that we used to trash are now the ones that cost the most, if you can find them!

 

Ken,

I am not in a big hurry. If you find one, just let me know.

Nate,

I just scanned the page into Photoshop and then used the paintbrush to color the part of interest.

I also cropped out the part of the page that was not pertinent.

If Only.......

I understood what that meant

Like I said , I have much to learn....

 

Interested in this Rochester piece?

I keep some spare pieces around the garage. I have one complete Rochester carb from a 58 235 (i think). The cable bracket is slghtly changed from the one shown, but functions the same.

Check out my pics, if you are interested, I will be willing to part with the bracket, I have the correct bracket on my working carb.

Just a different version , this one is supposedly vibration crack resistant .

 

Flea bay

Greg

 

You bringing the 50 back to its new home?

 

' Flea-Bay '

Jim,

Let me know if you did not receive my personal message about the bracket.


Greg

 

An offer you can't refuse

Greg,
I PM'd you with a somewhat reasonable offer on the bracket you seek.

I will be away from the PC for a couple of days so be patient about hearing back from me.

Jim

 

The power of the Forum

This shows the power of this forum. Thanks to Jim (Thunder54), I now have the bracket I was searching for. It is installed and ready to start its second life.
