A new throttle cable bracket bolted to the engine at one of the hoisting points. All the bolts are secure with Loctite. It’s very simple and strong. The picture makes it look like the cable is coming out of the bracket at an angle, but it is exiting perpendicular to the bracket. I made my own throttle cable using 1.5mm wire rope and a thimble on the end at the pedal. Unfortunately there is no off the shelf solution that is the right length, diameter and cable end. The routing has a few bends but I lubed the cable really well and it operates smoothly. The clamps will ensure that the cable does not rub against the motor anywhere.

I’ve been avoiding bonding the rear quarters in place (typical second guessing myself) but I like the current position and the 3M panel adhesive arrived so that work will probably happen this week.
