Ford Throttle Cable & Spring Bracket - 4500

The Ford Throttle Cable & Spring Bracket - 4500 from Advanced Engine Design is a precision carburettor mounting solution engineered for enthusiasts building or restoring high-performance Ford engines with Dominator flange carbs. This throttle cable bracket assembly handles the critical task of routing and tensioning your throttle cable while maintaining consistent spring return pressure—essential for responsive throttle control and safe engine operation. Whether you're upgrading a street machine, preparing for competition, or restoring a classic Ford build, this bracket eliminates the guesswork of fabricating a reliable cable management system.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminium with blue anodized finish, this bracket resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance under the bonnet. The spring mechanism ensures positive return to idle, a non-negotiable safety feature that prevents hanging throttle on acceleration or deceleration. The compact footprint (4.5 × 1.9 × 13.05 inches) fits tight engine bays without interfering with fuel lines, ignition harnesses, or intake manifolds. The design accommodates Ford throttle cable geometry while the Dominator flange mounting interface provides rock-solid rigidity—critical when engine vibration and heat cycles would loosen inferior brackets.

This bracket serves carburettor conversions, engine swaps, and custom fuel system builds where OEM throttle linkage is incompatible or insufficient. Engine builders and mechanical restorationists rely on pre-engineered solutions like this to avoid trial-and-error installation that costs time and creates safety risks. Installation requires basic hand tools and familiarity with carburettor mounting surfaces; compatibility is confirmed with Ford cable routing and Dominator 4500-series carburettor flanges. The modest weight of 0.62 lbs keeps your engine bay light while the proven aluminium construction handles repeated thermal cycling without fatigue or stretch.
