Are you sure you are not being reunited with the bracket that was originally on your own car, before it went walkabouts during the conversion!

Haha yeah maybe, right? Would be even weirder in that case though, as I found the bracket in The Netherlands, but my car never left South Africa until 2021zz
Found a Vignale built LHD MK1 in South Africa, Sincar #15, chassis 117/2592.
On a long and winding road to restore it back to original condition.

Nice find. Looks like the original bushings are intact as well. I'd be interested in some closeups as I would like to replicate some for my car.Terdu wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 8:49 am Ok, i'm so chuffed with my find that I just had to feedback to the group.
I managed to source a LHD throttle linkage, through a CV-8 specialist. I'm not sure how many LHD CV8's were built, or if my part might have come from a LHD MK1 Int that was lost along the way, but I have an original LHD throttle linkage for my restauration.
Of course I could have replicated the rod/tab, but its just cool to have found exactly the right thing.

Will send you a few pictures once I cleaned it up a bit
