602 Restore

Dan....Love to see your, top rate, attention to detail, restore pics. They bring back a lot of memories. Keep up the good work :thumb:
 
Beautiful work Dan! Going to be hard to get her dirty... Which is all we can do with almost no snow - very weird year! Keep the pictures coming.
:wow:
 
Hey Shopman...THANKS! Went to the cabin for christmas in the North Dakota 602. After driving the 9 miles in and noticing my substantial hearing loss I have decided to consider putting a intercom system in the restored 602. It will provide noise attenuation and better talking conditions. Anybody have any thoughts or ideas about a cat intercom system??

Finally getting around to doing a little bit of work on the restore. Did a diamond plate deck with new gas tank. Ready to put radiator back in and get her started!!

These are pictures of the swivel linkage between the throttle and carburetor on 1962 Thiokol 601/602's. Does anybody have an idea where I should look to get a replacement. The Napa boys were clueless.

Boy that is going to be hard to find. I think you may end up having to fabricate you own using two standard ball joint ends. Going to be tricky because it is so short but I think that is what I would try.
 
Ya, been all over both of those sites but have not found a double ended assembly....and yes she is well taken care of:brows:

Very, very nice... I can't quite make out the number of layers of poly... it *may* need another dose or two. :whistling: Sweeeeet! I agree with the Weatherby... need more pics! :clap: Some of those pics make me want to fry up breakfast and eat right off the deck diamond plate. It would add just the right bit of snowcat seasoning. :brows:

Without Grease Fitting
Able to stand up to frequent use, these linkages offer superior wear resistance. All are ball joint rod ends with the studs attached to simplify mounting. They have a chrome-plated, bearing-steel ball stud that’s machined to fit perfectly inside its housing, which is zinc-plated steel. Linkages are great for clutches, throttles, and shift control rods. Periodic lubrication may be required to keep them operating smoothly. Maximum ball swivel is approximately 50°. They are not load rated.



The combined two of these should get you where you want to be. Not original
But functional if you want original I'm thinking custom fab, or parts machine

Part numbers are McMaster Carr

Got distracted a bit... hobbies conflicting for time. :sad:

A variety of new members digging around the Thio's... good to see! So much info is in the threads and it seems the same questions keep coming up. Your resto here is one of those great threads and I had to bump up the Weatherby thread of course. :flowers:
 
I think this is what I will try to use...it will need to be machined down just a bit in length...thanks for your help Boogie!:brows:

Oh ya...Weatherby's thread is the absolute "Go To" thread...not to mention the Weatherby himself.
 
Dlmorindds.......NICE to see a post again, and hear from ya ...I will look through some of my old carb stuff , I know I seen one of those before but can't remember if it was used on something or given away or just sitting in a box somewhere. However, I will do some serious searching tomorrow morning to see if I can locate it again. I also have a couple of other sources (old timers with old parts) lol........I will also talk with them to see what they may have.

......I thought you might have forgot how to post pictures:whistling:....It's good to see a update :thumb:
 
Okay....The one I thought I still have is GONE. I now remember where it went, I did sell the manifold with it attached ....(see pic).....However I have some other sources I will talk with tomorrow.
