CJ7 accelerator linkage: spring clips
« on: May 31, 2017, 09:15:56 PM »

Hi.


1979 4.2l CJ7. Carter 2 barrel carb.


This has little spring clips to hold things (like the end of the accelerator cable, both ends of the link rod...) onto little ball joints.


They have gone rusty and died. Anybody know where I can get some from?


(Lighthouse suggest they come on the end of new accelerator cables, but I don't really want to buy three accelerator cables at £16.20 each!)

Sorry, my sources for things like that are normally Rock Auto, or eBay (UK or US) - but I couldn't see what you're looking for ....and even the clips that looked similar on eBay had shipping costs that just killed it :(
You could try talking to US Automotive, they're not cheap but have been very helpful in the past.
Good luck!
