Since converting the Triumph from injection back to carburettors, I'd become aware of how sloppy the throttle cable set up is on the twin SU carbs. Injection uses a direct link to the throttle cable whereas the carbs set up uses a cable but joined to some weird scissor type linkage. (See below)
As luck would have it, a Triumph enthusiast by the name of Dylan Day posted on Facebook that he had made up a bracket that will do away with this weird contraption. So, after a few messages, I decided to buy one and give it a try.
Once I received it I found that it's a very well made item and also made of good quality metal. It didn't take long to fit and other than needing a few adjustments to the carburettor link bar and also fitting a stop on the throttle pedal (So that the cable doesn't over travel and stretch and snap) it's a straight forward fit.
It took out all of the previous sloppyness and has made the throttle much more responsive. I'm very pleased with it. I just need to get the car out for a test drive now.
