I have a few options - this one (just a bog standard twin cable linkage):

This one which is lower (does it need to be a low one to clear the Nova bonnet?) (Plus cables pull from a different direction?):

This one seems to be a nice bit of kit, but not a low one....

Another low level one...

Anyone suggest the best kit?

Do I even need twin cables?

Would single pull be easier?

Thanks in advance, Rob.

Twin Cables are nice, but not really needed as such, although most linkages come with a twin cable set-up.

I just use a standard weber top mounted linkage.... Don't thik you have a pic of one there...

Cool.

Yeh they are all for Dellorto's as that is what I have!

How does the block mount on the pedal?

Any pics?

Do you reckon I would need a low height one?

Think I used a bike brake cable. The linkage kit came with a little screw clamp thinggy, which you do up on the linkage end.

Don't think you'll have any issues with clearances though....

No pics at the mo.. soz

not totally gen'd upon barbs etc but would a universal choke canle not do?

there adjustable and have a screw fitment at the end meaning you can decide how long it is?

just by the sounds of thing that sound kinda helpful?

The second one should see you right, they are a sturdy piece of kit. You can get away with using a single std cable on there (I used MK1 astra 1300 cable, with the end piece cut off.) When cutting the cables I found solderring where you want to cut, then cutting stopped it freying and left it neat.

The weber linkages look nice, are good but are expensive, I have a bottom mounted one on my weber.

May be, the astra one I used was a bit longer thats all.
