:032:Could anybody tell me how/where the hand throttle cable hooks into the accelerator cable/linkage? A picture would be even better.
Thanks,

John,
Is that arm that the cable is fastened through actually part of or welded to the triangular linkage arm? Or is it somehow bolted to it? If you could pop off the bottom of that blue spring it would be easy to see the set-up. Might just try to modify my old style. Thanks for the pics. Ted

John,
I'm building a late model hand throttle plate to replace my old style. Could you tell me where the new style cable housing clamps on behind the foot board? Must be different than old style because cable runs on different sides of linkage.Thanks, Ted Matthews
Say Larry,
That plate and all the screw hardware is stainless steel. Somehow it manages to look really dark in that left photo. I'm glad you did that drawing though because if I ever did one I haven't seen it in years. I don't exactly remember why I had all the edges rounded so much which makes it tough to measure. I think there is a template around somewhere. I think it's at the machine shop that cranked them out. I have a bag of stainless hardware sitting around because a couple of years ago I was going to get some more of them made up. Somehow my machine shop let the small job fall through the cracks and I only have the hardware. Perhaps I'll prod them a bit to see if they will make some up.
