Lyall,
I have uploaded a few pictures here:
https://picasaweb.google.com/100928264363269111754/TricarbThrottleShaft
It's not an easy part to get pictures of while it's in the car, but I did my best. The overall length of the shaft is almost exactly 9 inches. The bit that turns up at the end furthest from the firewall is about 1.5 inches. As you can see, that part could be a little longer and not hurt much. The connecting rod that goes down to the accelerator shaft is about 6 inches long. That part you will probably want to find from the SU people because it has ball joints on the ends.
The hardest part, I think, will be the piece that attaches the shaft to that connecting rod. The angle between that and the bend at the other end has to be pretty close if everything is work right. Of course if the downward shaft was slightly longer or shorter than 6 inches, the angle would have to be different.
Hope this helps.

Keith,
Thanks for your efforts. Unfortunately I can't open the file. Don't believe I'm doing anything wrong?? I get the message "Sorry that page not found" although the tab acknowledges Picasso web album Keith Mott??
Duane,
Yes, very interested. How much would you be asking for it?
Thanks fellas
