Hi and welcome. Might be better putting this in Tech section. I'm sure someone will be along soon, however and answer your query on here.

Met Doc earlier today and showed him Edla's throttle to see how it is mounted. Have suggested that he posts some photos of the state of his throttle in the hope that someone can come up with a solution.

Spotted his van whilst walking Olly the other night and it will be great to see it out on the road.

P.S. Welcome to Club 80-90 Doc.

"State of his throttle?" - "Problem?" - Sounds ominous. We like a challenge!!

thanks guys, when I get five minutes I will post some pictures. Think I have come up with an idea how I can do it pot riviting a small plate to cover the hole and then re mounting the bracket but again all help welcome as only got the use of the drive for four more weeks.

Thanks for letting me see your van earlier today. My house is 65 welcome to knock if your passing one evening with the dog.

Thanks for all your help guys sorted throttle out started it and have now discovered the brakes need a good overhaul and the idle needs setting. Any offers from the kent crowd would be appreciated and worth a drink or ten.
