Title: Interior Accel and Start levers for GT Junior 73
Post by: New Alfa guy on August 29, 2017, 03:11:57 PM
Was wondering if anybody could help clarify what ACCEL & Start levers (if any) were standard in a GT junior 72/73 model - I have searched many interiors and have found 3 possibilities.

1. Chrome metal levers
2.Plastic levers
3. No levers.

and pics would also help.

Second question would be to find a set if I can get a definitive answer ..

Many thank

Hi New Alfa guy
OKP Parts and Engineering has new complete accelerator and choke cables available for the 105 series (refer to link below). Forum members that have the same model as yours should be able to confirm whether they have plastic or metal levers. The photo of the 1300 Junior found on the net, incorporates plastic levers similar to those used on the 116 Alfetta GTV's. https://www.okp.de/xtc2/105/115-Bertone/10-Engine/Throttle-linkage:::3452_11843_12104.html?language=en
Hope this helps

Thanks bonno for the reply and link to OKP - however I'm still a little confused as to what type of levers are original on my 73 1600
My steering colum has the single choke lever but there is a square hole cut out on my dash under the 3 toggle switches  - the picture you provided of the1300 seems to have the 2 square chrome metal levers under the 3 toggle switches not the plastic ones. So I'm wondering if my car has the choke lever plus the two accel and start levers???? I guess some detailed pictures of specific models from others members might help. I have attached the 2 lever options to be more specific.

I have seen many smooth nose 105 GT Juniors with the hand throttle and choke lever attached to the underside of the steering surround.
2 round black knobs.
I do have a 73 GT Junior here with that system and deemed correct for that model.
There are 2 half steering column surrounds between the steering wheel and dashboard and its attached to the lower half.
Maybe someone else can explain it better.
I can supply if required

Thanks Mick.  I have now sourced the correct steering wheel surround with the two areas for the round controls and I will order new cables from OKP.

Thanks for the info guys.
