Unknown Bracket
Does anyone have one of these brackets on their car? No doubt it holds a cable in place, but where does it go? My car did not come with a choke. Thanks in advance.

Hi John,
If I had to guess, this bracket may go on one of the large bolts that holds the steering column in place. See if it fits anywhere near there.
Good luck.

Re: Unknown Bracket
Thanks, do you think the cable jaw holds the radiator blind cable then?

Re: Unknown Bracket
John you're bracket belongs 100% to the choke cable
i do have two of those the are fixated on the distributor nut base
Every 250gt came with a choke even you think you´re came without.
I think the pre owner simply remove it.
in the warmer country you don´t need it at all when he runs.
Tom´s guess is wrong see pics below
the radiator winding wheel has it guide integrated with /on the wheel construction.

Re: Unknown Bracket
Cornelis, thanks. The hole on the bracket is 8mm, so it would mount on the distributor base. I have to do some research and see where the choke pull lever goes on other Lussos. I could not find find an empty hole on my dash where the lever might go.

John,
No hole anywhere, it hangs with a simple bracket on the other side of the steeringbearingholder.

Re: Unknown Bracket
My 330 2+2 has a choke for the Weber DCZ. I miss the choke cable bracket. the choke cable was just fastened with a cable strap at the accelerator cable bracket. Does anybody have a pic how the original bracket and cable assembly looks like. The one here in this post seems to be not suitable for a 330 2+2 . I assume it should be a bracket with L-shape but also attached to the distributor nut.

Re: Unknown Bracket
Thanks a lot! A pic says more than 1000 words. Now I know what to fabricate assuming this piece is unabtainable.

Re: Unknown Bracket
Forgot to mention this is a late car heater control valve at rear of engine not front.
The post seems to be swaged at bottom under the 3 bolt bracket.
but I guess you could weld it in place as well

Re: Unknown Bracket
My car is also a later Series 2. So it matches exactly.

Re: Unknown Bracket
Suebian my choke lever is here on dash (GD)
I have always thought this was a little ugly but that's where they put it

Re: Unknown Bracket
Hello Daytonaman,
here is a pic of my choke lever location. It is hidden under the dash board, driver side (LH).
