This is the one I use btw Jay, it's designed for a Swedish inlet but it's worked perfectly on my Hart Inlet for over 3 years now.

Shit pic but you can just about see mine. It's off the car at the mo if you want to offer it up to make your own one up. Mine is on an St t/b as well and it was a right balls about sorting a bracket as its a lot different to the rwd and 4x4 ones

Im glad your happy with the items. If there was a better nicer looking way to do it I would of done it.

Every other bracket setup I have seen either looks like its been put together with blue tac or uses some random angles that cables will not like!

i did work it all out years ago when making a bracket and linkage up on my saff but the OE throttle design is not linear is it? the throttle movement is very slow at first and speeds up the more the throttle is opened to give more low down control

Slightly off topic but I've just noticed the AS inlet hasn't got the support lug fitted to the bottom like a Hart Inlet.

i thought so too, but when i raised the question they said nobody ever used it and decided to remove it from the new casting
but they can do it as an option for £35.00 to weld a mount on, which is fine really as long as you know the option is there.

So it was removed then you charge people an extra £35 for the privilege of having it?
Hope you knocked £35 off for the people who don't want it?

Why would "I" do anything?

All i do is offer Airtec products at the retail price they give me, i don't decide how the products are made or what price they retail at.
I didn't decide to remove the mount,or to charge people to have it
