Coming home from Sebring last week and throttle quit working. Thought the cable had broke. Indy shop called to say cable was OK, the pin (#14) which attached to the arm (#8) was missing and there was some type of teflon (or something) insert or something inside of #8 that the pin attaches to that is missing. They tried to find part #8 but it can not be found anywhere here or in Germany?
They believe they can re-attach the pin to the arm.
that is a very common part i have seen in other places.. sometimes the hood shock uses a similar pin . it is a very small pin used to drop through the holes to top it slipping off , any pin would work , even use a safety pin bent over to get you going

So you are saying that whatever the insert inside of #8 where the pin attaches to #8 is not needed? That's what they are saying also, just want to confirm.
Some type of pin or piece of stiff wire is needed. It stops the socket from slipping off the ball. Some hood shocks use this. The curved bit snaps around the strut to hold it in place
Mine has the pin, but the insert must be long gone. Wasn't even aware there was supposed to be one in there. Add a touch of grease to keep it lubricated either way, insert or not.
Hi
I stumbled across this post as I'm struggling to put back together the Throttle Assembly for my 1989 G50 Carrera. I'm down to attaching the throttle pull rod (8) (930 110 098 04) to the Lever (6) (930 110 110 03) using the Ball Socket Retaining Clip (#14) (900-169-014-01-OEM)
(not shown in this picture, but shown in other diagrams).
How the heck does the Retaining Clip work to keep the pull rod on the ball socket on the Lever? How do you put this together?
take a close look at the ball socket end of the rod. there should be a tiny hole. the pin goes in there and rotates and locks on the rod. the little pin through the hole holds the ball in place on the lever.
