RE: 1.5" vs 1.75" SU's

Does anybody want to send pics of their SU linkage rig-ups?

The Roadsters throttle rotation is the same as the 38mm SU's. It's the Z car
SU's that rotate in the opposite direction. But linkage isn't a problem,
nothing a brazing rod, hacksaw and torch can't create. My linkage works quite
well. I did almost go to cable but thought I'd go mechanical first.
