Hello beautiful :thumb:

Hey buddy, some advise.  Get a fitting made up so you can fit the throttle cable to the large hole at the top.  Makes the throttle so so much lighter under the foot and far better throttle control.  Just make sure if you do that you still get a WOT

See attached image showing where I mean

I have one of those in my tool box
I could not  get enough travel  in the mechanism of the 70 model
If you want to try it jethro I will dig it out

Had no problem on the 77.  I may have had to modify the pedal a little to get enough travel.  It was a long time ago and I cant remember

I know I have a different throttle cable being a right hook.  Get this, off of a Sigma :banghead:
