Opel Manta A Breaking Save It!


Recommended Posts

hi there, if not needed, would you be willing to sell me the throttle cable and maybe the carb with linkages?

thanks

jack

Hello Jack, I dont intend selling the throttle cable as you can appreciate they are difficult to get hold of, that one is not the best but i was planning to keep it as a just in case. However everything is for sale at the right price.

Did yours not have one or has it snapped? If you want I could take some detailed photos of the one i had from Mark Kinnon and measure it if you want.

Regarding the Weber Carb, its open to sensible offers, it is of unknown provinance so i make no promises for it but probably needs overhauling, Also it is still attached to the manifold as i do not have the the correct tool to remove the bolts, ther is no air filter either. Again i can take some detailed photos if you want.

Don't suppose the white plastic door clips the arm rest/handle screws into are available? Also need the winder handle retaining clips.

Not sure, is that like a gromet or plug that would be popped into the steal of the door?

Hey Shug

If Mantney dosnt have any i might have something as i have a few pots of bits in the loft. Will be able to have a look mid week. I know the ones you mean for the door handles and the clip for the winder.

Approximately 130cm I would measure the original for you but it's not at home at the moment

There are 4 square holes in the middle of door. 2 of them will have white plastic inserts that a screw goes in to from the arm rest.

are these they?

If so I can only find 3, you're welcome to them if you send me a stamped addressed envelope, unless you want to see if andy can do you a full set. don't have the winder clips.

Just as well that you only need 2 as i had a quick look through my box of stuff and i think i must have every other type of clip, screw, nut bolt etc.. off a A, but not the door ones :-)

I have found one window winder clip so far but need to get up and have a good look. Also need to get rid of some stuff! will see what i can find tomorrow.
