Throttle cable mount
Since I had to remove the throttle cable to swap it with the longer mixture cable, I decided I might as well make my own mount. The one from Van’s FWF kit causes the cable to be too close to the exhaust. I used some 0.125″ angle and .063″ sheet to make something that will work much better. It took quite a while, but I enjoy fabricating parts like this. And here are the two parts primed.
I also test fit the quadrant and cables with the mount I made a few days ago. Seems like it’s all going to work together. I tweaked the angle of the mount a bit. I also measured the throw of each quadrant lever versus the throw needed at the engine. Seems like I’ll need to drill some new holes to increase the throw. Both the throttle and mixture seem a bit short. Here’s the mount painted.
