Message: <blockquote data-quote="Profreedomokie" data-source="post: 4078779" data-attributes="member: 524"><p>Today I made a jig to hold and drill a SU carburetor throttle shaft. I bought a new shaft which needed a hold drilled for a little dog leg arm to be pinned to it. The total length has to be cut and position of the pin hole has to be determined and drilled. The holes that are already drilled and tapped are on an angle to the pin hole. The pin is a tight fit and has to be pressed or hammered in. So, with a slot cut in the shaft for the throttle valve the shaft could easily be bent while driving the pin in. The jig positions the arm where it needs to be and supports the shaft and arm so it won't be bent by installing the pin. Three hours work to make a tool that I may never need again if I'm lucky.
