Does anybody know where I can buy a 'B' linkage from or could someone supply with details of the linkage so then I can get a couple made?

I have two sets of them! It's the linkage in between that I'm going to try and replicate or even better if I can buy.
Series B gear linkage
A man with a lathe could make it. It would be more expensive if it needed left-hand threads, since LH taps would have to be purchased. I THINK I could screwcut the male parts.
I had a look in the C spares list, where KTB says the B / early C gearchange parts are shown. Damned if I can find them.
Nor can I open your private message. Could you send it to my private address?
Saw VG's new toy today. He's in love. (Other readers: it's a Ducati Diavel, with three engine management settings: city, touring (120 bhp), and short-lived insane.)

That is much nicer than the one I found but they both seem to have an extra hole where the pedal has been bolted to the gear box lever. Surely that is not original?
If you don't need precise originality you could use something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Weber-Throttl...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5198aaf4c1 to link your pedal and gear box lever.

whilst i can (sort of) understand the originality point of veiw it's a peice of junk, otherwise why did the two Phils change it?
I'd imagine that the later single bit of aluminium gave a considerable cost saving on materials over the early set and would have saved a fair bit of assembly time. Stories are also told of steel shortages leading to greater use of aluminium.
Its a peice of junk-the 'kin thing didn't work as intended. hence the need for the modification!
