There is a thin throttle rod that runs through the center of your steering column. It attaches to the under side of your throttle lever and pops out the back of the steering gear. To remove the rod, disconnect the throttle clamp and the wire running to your horn relay. Then slide it out. Don't pry the button off.
I think Bill has some better shots.

Throttle Lever Disassembly
Gentlemen: Thanks for your input... using this information, I was able to get it apart. Even took pictures so I could get it back together again. This throttle lever looks a little like pot metal, if it is, I'm wondering if it would take a layer of chrome?

I received a bid on re-chroming some parts from my 57 CC runabout, and it's seems awful high to me. Could I get some opinions from you all that have had parts re-chromed. The bid was from a company in the Atlanta area, and it was for re-chroming the following: a pot metal throttle lever, the thin cutwater trim, the outer shell of a spot light, a rear lift ring, and a stern flagpole bracket, for a total of $400. Does this seem reasonable to you?
Thanks

Plating shops today have to deal with the local air districts and hazmat regulations. Clean air is good right? I made the mistake of taking a "long" lunch to drop off some hardware for new plating and wore my work ID badge. The owner thought I was on offical from the county and didn't want to talk to me.
Needless to say we both laughed at the fact my badge says Pepsi and sympathised at all of the regulations. They did do the mast base and light, horn, grab rails, window hardware, script and swim ladder hardware for $1800. Looked good on my 63 Connie.

Mstover, Call Wade, in Pa. he will give you a basic quote on the phone. Tell him you got his name from the CC Boat Buzz. He does good work, and is fast return in the off season, I do not know about in season speed. Heck, he may not even have a slow season....

Al,
That was pretty much the same amount I had done. Maybe I need to look at sending it out of CA to get it done. There were two shops open in town, now there is one. One was forced to move over rezoning and has not reopened.
My next project for next winter is to refinish all of the deck hardware and stansions.

Rob,
The folks that plated this hardware does mostly vintage car parts for guys in that business around town. The plating is already wearing thin on the cleats. I suppose you get what you pay for.
I have a large pile of hardware for the '48, 17' Deluxe to do soon as well as a few more Connie parts. I may need to shop around a little before he gets this order.

I just received a price from Wade Technology for re-chroming the parts mentions earlier, and it was for $265 plus freight. This seems more reasonable.

Marty,Jim Wade does all of my work and when I needed something in a pinch on someone else time line he bent over backward to accomadate. There are many different standards of chrome, and I like what I get from Jim.
