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! |

Car whiplash claim scam caught on video
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Car whiplash claim scam caught on video The whole ‘Cash for Crash’ industry in the UK has got completely out of hand, fuelled not just by dishonest motorists eager for an easy few quid, but by ambulance-chasing lawyers eager to find a claim where there’s not even blame, and stupid insurance companies who sell said lawyers the details of their clients’ collisions. In fact, it does seem car insurance companies are increasingly eager to put obstacles in the way if you object that you weren’t at fault when someone crashes in to you, and would rather settle quickly than spend time, money and resources on fighting spurious claims for you. So the idea of having a dash-cam of some description to keep a record of events is a smart one, and that’s exactly what Smart Witness offers; a dash-cam that takes a 170 degree view from the driver’s perspective and records it to a smart card.
Australian Grand Prix (2010) RESULT
Sun, 28 Mar 2010The start of the Australian Grand Prix Melbourne-2010 We started to get gripes at the end of last year’s F1 season that our headlines on Grand Prix results gave the game away. Not an overwhelming number of emails – just a steady trickle. But we got loads after our Ferrari One-Two at Bahrain headline at the first F1 Grand Prix of the season, so we’re going to obfuscate the headlines and the sub-header this year, so all of you who’ve stuck the race on Sky+ don’t get it spoilt.
