Q-Jet Question

Is the cruise control stud, as seen in pic #3 of the link below, threaded into the accelerator bracket or is it secured on the back side with a nut? Any idea what the hole size or thread size is?

Re: Q-Jet Question

The stud on the end goes through the throttle lever and is fastened with a nut.

6mm if memory serves but I could be wrong. (well I AM "wrong", with a capital "R"; but besides that, mistaken on this particular point)

Re: Q-Jet Question

Just to confirm, there is a nut on the other side.
