Metal carb links

[sujitroy]

I'm planning to buy some metal carb links. Previously I used ones from LD Parts. They work well and I like the fact they press on. However, for a few quid less, James Paddock have some. I can't see how these work. Do they press on?

Sujit, how are you finding paddock shipping to USA? Initially I tried them but it was much higher than Rimmer at the time. I got a lower steering shaft from paddocks recently that wasn’t awful but wondered about other shipments.

The ones to use are the Land Rover ones.
They appear to be nla now though.
The repros available via ejwards work ok but are quite bulky.

Are the paddocks ones spring loaded in that you pull that sleeve down to reveal the ball shape?

Be aware that RM are struggling at the moment with overseas shipments

Best avoid that for the time being

The Wards ones are like that.
