Choke Lever
I am planning to fit bike carbs to my car shortly which require a choke, but do not want to use a standard pull out and twist choke knob on the
dashboard, as they are not that visually pleasing. I was thinking along the lines of a flush fitting lever (similiar to a door handle or glove box
lever).
Has anyone done this before and what have you used? Photos would be good

how is it going to lock then? I've never had a problem with the normal ones tbh and at least you could spot very easily if it had been left out

I have one of those unsightly things on my car, it's under the dashboard attached to the steering column mount so it's set back and
unseen.
No photo's but I hope the description is enough.

Have you got a sierra colum? Iv mounted my choke to the bonnet pull under the colum. Out of sight. It wont stay on but you only need the choke to
fire it up. Once its going u shouldnt need it.

I stuck mine out of sight under the dash. It's only used for the first few seconds anyway and I spend that long faffing around getting the
harnesses ready, adjusting mirrors etc etc....

As above either use the Sierra bonnet pull or as I and many others have done under the dash out of sight.
Can't reach it with the harness on but its only really required if the engine is stone cold(crazy!)

I used a universal lawnmower throttle lever bought off ebay for a few Pounds - it came with a very good quality cable, which I also needed. It's
tucked under the dash on the driver's side (as can be seen in the slightly fuzzy picture below)
