Wilcox-crittenden Throttle Control, C.1965 on 2040-parts.com
Palmyra, New Jersey, United States
|
Motorboat throttle control from 1960s. Bronze, brass, chromed brass. Indexed quadrant with 1/4-20 female threads - you must make an adapter (simple piece of brass) to accommodate modern 1/4-28 Morse-type '33C' cables, but other than that it's entirely usable for any small powerboat. Would look exceptionally good on an old Lyman, Chris Craft, Elco houseboat, any boat with a wooden dashboard in which to mount the throttle. Very rare, very desirable. Beautiful, never-installed, essentially new from leftover Sea Scamp inventory. No mounting hardware (use chromed, SS, or bronze screws).
I hate to part with this but I'm no longer building the boat I'd have used it on. This part is essentially irreplaceable - you won't find one in as-new condition anywhere! I am in the boating trade and priced this reasonably based on what I know of antique and new-old-stock parts, of which I have many more. Please put this lovely old part to good use! |

Hybrid Cars are Dangerous
Sat, 04 Jul 2009Hybrid cars are reckoned to be dangerous to vision-impaired pedestrians - but Lotus has a solution with 'Safe & Sound' But this is about the problems that are starting to arise when Hybrids (and EVs for that matter) are running ‘Silently’. And with sales of Hybrid cars rocketing – particularly in Japan – it is causing concern to the authorities. So the Japanese Government has set up a panel to investigate the problem, consisting of consumers, vision-impaired groups, the police and representatives from the car industry.
