Just fitted the carburettor, fuel pipe a d several tiny accelerator linkages. Made a return spring - now to see if I can fashion a reasonable throttle cable.

Try guitar strings for the throttle cable.
Thanks for the tip, if what's on hand doesn't work I will get some.
My son's been out of the house for 30 years & I still have a bunch of used strings from his shredding days, great for grabs, hooks, steps, antennae, barbed wire & springs.
Throttle body is looking superb Stefan
Lovely progress.
There's is nothing I don't love about this build. It's just spot on all over. It wasn't too long ago, I discovered one of my cars uses the same carburettor (4 barrel Holley) as the road going GT40. And that is as close I will ever get to owning one.
