My present gas pedal to carb linkage is just a hollow rod.
Both ends are female taps.
I have small clevis ends threaded into each end.
Also a pretty cheap throttle return bracket with 2 springs.
I have seen a multiltude of throttle linksage brackets from various
companies in the Summit / Jegs catalogs.
Some can get pretty pricey.
I have no plans on using a throttle stop.
I run IHRA "NO BOX" class
Can anyone suggest one that they are happy with?

The Jegs bracket with the return springs are very nice.Alot like the CSR peice.For $60 it can't be beat.

What's wrong with running solid linkage? As long as you have solid motor mounts, I would stick with what you have.

Solid linkage with a toe hook.Only way to go IMHO :D

I run a bracket I hot from Holcomb Motorsports. It has the double rerturn spring attached to it and is in a polished aluminum finish. It is a very nice piece and I payed $110 for the bracket and a cable.

It doesn't matter what you run for linkage, just make sure you have a toe hook to bring the throttle cable/rod back to "0" it's the quickest respond to a stuck throttle on the top end.
