Any clue where to find a decent one?

we are now testing the engine after overhaul. how many gallons should i use while engine is still in the car (idling) before taking it for a test drive after overhaul? is there a specific number of gallons to be used before moving the car?

Holes are under on the bottom. There is wire meshing visible.
Now I need to try the engine overhaul. Need to idle it and let it run for few hours to test success of overhaul. Can not get oil cap with breather at the moment. Could I let the engine run with a screen cloth like in pics without oil cap? Or could I use the current oil cap that I have which does not have breather risking dirts and debris go back to engine ? Opinion please?

It look like it will work but the end with the hole for the rod to protrude should have two of these so to surround the metal arm that is attaches to. The clip is a carburetor linkage clip. You should have one on your carburetor and can see how it is installed. Not knowing the diameter of your linkage rod perhaps a kit with various sizes is best.

they seem to be a bit bigger! is there a specific one that is made for my transmission? i mean a part in Bobs or something that surely will fit? cos i am overseas and by the time i order and if it is wrong, it takes forever to reach me here! thanks

I would think a cotter key if there was a hole drilled at the end of the rod.
No holes at the end of the rod which is driving us mad! We don’t understand how should it fit and be kept in place! -
