1965 Hayter Hayterette Throttle Control
I'm trying to source a throttle control for my '65 Hayterette, it's the white plastic type also found on the early Harriers, 21's and Ospreys but they seem rather illusive so much so I even tried to buy a '66 model just for the throttle.
Ebay has had nothing like it for months.
The exhaust bugs me too but as its a disguised replacement from 1980 I can live with that.

Usually with these throttle controls, when the cable rusts up / seizes in the sleeve, the cable pops out of the plastic control body as only secured by the fixing down set screw, you should get a cable or get one made up.
One bodge I have done in the past is to fit a jubilee clip to the bowden cable around the handle tube to stop the cable outer sheaf pulling out from the plastic throttle control body; naturally this is a compromise for the purist.

I expect that you’ve asked Jon Cruse at Hailshsm, it if not it’s worth an ask. We used to have bunches of that pattern - aftermarket ones . Perhaps they are still to be had , and you could get someone to inscribe it ?
