Throttle kit came missing a trunnion. Can anyone put me in contact with Mr. Pender? Thanks

Were you not in contact with him to get the throttle kit?
Thank you all very kindly. I was in contact to place the order, but he included no way to contact him either on the packaging, or instructions.

Hi, Mike. As another American, I'm not 100% sure but I think I've usually heard it used (in countries that actually speak "English") as a rotating or sliding pin as in a pin or cylinder with a hole for something like a throttle cable in a fork or similar actuating arm. When the cable is pulled (or pushed) in a straight line, the fork or similar arm attachment is pulled in a tangential direction. The trunnion pin rotates to keep the cable pull direct. As a more concrete example, I believe that the pivot on a drum rear brake (the drilled cylinder fitting that the adjusting threaded rod passes through) is sometimes called a "trunnion".

The trunnion (one of two?) should be the cylindrical-shaped part that connects the throttle rod to the lifter arm.

DP QC is bad, my advice is to suck up to him and make it seem like you’re not sure if something is wrong and send him a photo. BC if you do anything other than stroke his ego he’s likely to just block your emails and not help you even though it’s his fault.
