- The handy little feature where you twist the choke knob to lock it in place doesn't seem to be working on Nancy. It certainly makes it a bit stiffer, but the spring is still able to pull it back. Bef

- My previous BGT (a Dec '72 model called Sammy) had a T-bar for the choke lever; Nancy (all of 3 months later, a Feb '73) has a round knob. Which is correct - or both (not that I care much, I'm not an

- Thanks Jay. Had a closer look at the Moss website - it seems the T-bar choke pull was fitted to rubber bumper cars from '76 onwards (in the UK at least). The PO of my old Sammy must have replaced the

- The 'twist and lock' feature is achieved by a blade on the inside of the outer which sort of cuts into the shaft of the inner. If it no longer works it is usually because the blade or the shaft has w

- On my 73 you need to remove the two fresh air inlets on the dash which lets you get a slim hand and spanner behind the dash to undo and retighten the nut and lock-washer. Paul, Is there an easy way t

- My '72 B has a t-bar that is original equip. US model, CA to be exact for smog purposes. Not willing to part with my working t-bar though, sorry. I'm sure someone's got one though. STG3 Ryan Irwin US

- Hmmm, not sure about easy. The vents have a little plastic latch in the upper and lower outer corners which locks behind the metal of the dash (UK tin dash, that is). By careful poking with a small s

- My two bits. The 1970 US spec car I just bought came with a round knob type choke cable. Because of it's location close to the top roll of the dash it was very difficult to use. This was a real pain,

- I don't know of any way to fix them. It seems to be a friction fit, and eventually the soft metal of the collar just refuses to hold. A wooden clothespin used to be a fairly common resort... on 5/20/
