T-6 Hand Throttle miracle
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 6:06 am
Hi,
I'm (still) in the process of restoring #155.607 (T-6 Cab) and have trouble connecting the hand throttle Bowden cable to the mechanism in the center tunnel.
There is a slightly longer version for T-5 cars (length 850 mm, 695 424 031 00) but I have the - correct for my T-6 car - shorter version (660 mm, 695 424 031 02) which isn't long enough to reach where it should go.
I assume the guide tube (695 424 331 00 for LHD cars) is used with some more steel wire to extend the hand throttle cable but as much as I've tried, I failed to find a picture where and how this guide tube is mounted so far (presumably somewhere under the tank floor?). My tank floor was recreated from scratch by the body shop and wouldn't have any holes or bolts to figure this out (original didn't survive, of course).
Below is a link to a post with a picture of said guide tube:

Could anybody please post a picture (or a few ... ;o) of the T-6 hand throttle cable as seen from the floor looking up?
Thanks in advance from Vienna/Austria/Europe - KTF,
Harry
