Hi Håkan from Sweden here. I am doing a nuts and bolts restoration of a S III, 1973, LHD, 88'

I have found almost everything. But the biggest headache is the choke assembly. Look at picture. I have a steering lock and LHD. So there is not more room for the regular round one. I really need this slim version.

I have tried the regular companies without any luck, you now. Craddock, paddock, Lrseries, Ebay etc.

Does anybody know the number of the item? Do you now where i can get it?

Thanks

First of all :welcome2: to the asylum!

Is it just the inner cable that has gone, or the sleeve as well?

Can you fit another cable to the existing assembly?

Both i am afraid. The plan is to grind down the round button to the correct size. But it's kind of boring on a car which otherwise are in museum standard.

And thanks for the welcome!

The round button on a regular choke assembly.

If you wish to retain the original lever, have you thought about cutting the cable where it enters the handle, drilling out the old one and soldering a new length into it?

The both the inner and sheath can be made from standard brake cable from a bicycle shop, as the spring return is at the carb end.

Did that on my Series I and used an elastic band for the spring ... but that's another story!!

Worth trying this company have many original parts but you will need to send your picture to them.

If it's original parts you're after then try Dunsfold... I have included a link below, but I generally find it best to speak to them direct (ask for Nick) - prices are actually very good too

Dunsfold DLR

Hmm i am maybe asking the companies in the wrong country. As i have understood it this is a choke assembly for LHD, SIII, with steering lock. I think RHD - steering lock version looks different.

Do you happen to know a company which is stocking a lot of SIII stuff in a LHD country? I guess US?
