Where can I get one of these - throttle cable end fitting

[Matt Elan]

As I'm servicing my Dellortos I've come across a poor thread on the fitting that links the throttle cable to the carb operating mechanism. Its a slotted brass fitting which accepts the throttle cable nipple and is held in place by a 1/2 inch UNC (or maybe UNF) nut. It bolts onto the arm that operates the carbs. Here's a picture:

Its too late to ring round and its Sunday tomorrow! I'll try Sue, SJ and Kelvdon on Monday but perusing websites hasn't thrown any up and it doesn't appear in my Lotus Plus 2 parts list. The question is does anyone know where I can get another? Thanks in advance....

These guys have a wide range of bits beyond SUs

I would suggest that is not a standard part.
I use these people for my cable parts and make my own.

Well I was on the phone this morning and first spoke to Sue. She knew what I wanted, had had some made earlier but didn't have any left in stock. But she did say that she thought Classic Team Lotus had them. So I rang them, and one is now in the post. Hopefully it'll be the right part! Also thanks to John for his offer of one as well.

Oh well having described the part classic team lotus sent me a barrel nipple - correct for a standard car but not for mine. So a few minutes on the lathe and a spot of sawing and I’ve made one……
