Manual Choke - cable splitter

[biffofo]

finally identified  a cold start problem today , the cable splitter/yoke has broken allowing the LH carb cable sleeve to "pull through" rather than open the LH choke.  One of the hole retaining rings  in the barrel has failed , cheap plastic i guess.
Anyone any idea where i can get a replacement one please?  Preferably not the same plastic Domino type that i have/had.

thanks

I saw some on one of those kit car accessory sites some time ago. Have you tried Burlen?

You are right - it is not the best design. It's a pain to assemble and prone to stick. But this is the way Rover designed it and I believe it has always been in plastic. Unless you want to design something different, Wadhams is the best (only) available and closest to the original.

I googled these items , they are originally made for Moto -Guzzi bikes , i wondered why an Italian made item was fitted to  rover

My brother has an old Guzzi and the splitter is different to that. Leyland penny pinching I expect was the reason they may have been used if that the case as mine is different to that and is not cheap plastic.   West  German VDO/Kienzle clocks were also used.  They do work well enough though
