So where do you use them? For hot rod throttle cable connections… At 0.275in diameter, (most are just 1/4in) Stromberg linkage ball studs work perfectly with our 9164K Linkage Bombs and 9166K Rocket Clips. Check out the two applications above. Some aftermarket throttle cables come with just a bare cable – use the 9166K Rocket Clip. Some come with a threaded connector swaged to the end of the cable – use a 9164K-R Linkage Bomb (with a right hand thread).
On both applications you simply insert the Linkage Ball in place of the small set screw in the end of the swivel on the lever you’re pulling. Both use the same 10-32 thread. Or fix it with the supplied lock nut through one of the three holes at the top of our long progressive linkage levers (9096K). It clamps the linkage rod perfectly – you can use the small hex on the ball to tighten it.
Here, they are pictured with Stromberg 9091K lever arms (as part of a TwoStep 2×2 direct linkage), and a 9136K Cable Throttle Mounting Bracket.
