    Hand Throttle

    Has anyone ever fitted a hand throttle like the older 4x4s used to have?

    I have just fitted a heat exchanger for hot showers and to get the water nice and hot engine needs to be running above idle.

    This would also be handy for winching.

    Dave.

    A hand throttle is on my long list of jobs. I was thinking along the lines of a gear shift lever and cable from a pushbike.

    What car / engine is it Dave? That will have a bearing on how you would do it.

    Early to mid '80s diesel Japanese trucks had a hand throttle knob. It's a screw action so it's easy to get the desired speed.

    I used one off a 2t Daihatsu for a project a few years ago.

    What I fit varies with what can be done and what the owner wants

    for you're setup I reccomend a series style choke cable and fit that up to the throttle plate alongside the kickdown cable fitting point for the auto securing the handle end to the steering column.

    Be nice to be able to fit one to a TD5.......A little more difficult I suspect.

    Really annoying sometimes when your under the bonnet and you might need to increase the RPM, and theres nuffin to do it with

    I have not looked at a TD5, but I suspect it would not involve a lot of fabrication to arrange a hand throttle that operated on the accelerator pedal rather than going through to the engine compartment. Same applies in fact for any engine.
