However the other end is fine. Is it recommendable to unscrew on of the ends and install it on my stock linkage? I will need to use a dremmel to sand the worn zinc plated scratched finish also. Anyone? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62158-long-throttle-linkage-replacement/#findComment-576588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 30, 20195 yr comment_576591 Measure your old one first. Disassemble both and use the best pieces from each one to assemble a good one. Adjust the new one to the original's length. I'd start with steel wool if that doesn't work, fine sandpaper.
