Need new throttle shaft

[Dennis Detweiler]

My Carter BB needs a new throttle shaft. This one is brass and sloppy. Mike's Carbs had some, but out of stock and doesn't know if or when he will have more. The brass shaft also looks like it has a slight bow or bent down slightly where the throttle arm connects to it and likely why it is worn on one side where it rests in the housing. I could probably make another one, but it would be a tedious job.

yeah, I say make it....its a bird in the hand issue....

show us a picture of the part and also for what carb model. the model is stamped onthe air horn  on a flange something like DG6A1.

This will help us to know which part you need and the part number.

It's a Ball & Ball and DT3E or DTE3? I'm not at home right now,  but I believe it was originally from a Dodge truck?  I'm not sure, but the throttle bodies might all be the same except for the BBR-1. Maybe some had steel throttle shafts and some brass? I could probably make another one out of 5/16 brass rod. Much faster and easier to purchase an after market shaft.
