Bell crank and throttle linkage for 3.2 liter DME conversion Options

[bluhun]

Where can I obtain bell crank, throttle linkage cables, rods, etc for a 3.2 liter DME conversion car?

I used the James Patrick throttle linkage kit, which eliminates the bell crank, uses a much shorter cable, and routes the throttle cable in close proximity to the heat exchangers. It's a much simpler system, but the problem is that when you get caught in a traffic jam and sit around idling for a half hour or so the throttle cable fries for lack of cooling air flow and the car becomes undrivable.

I just ran the throttle cable up and attached to the part where the cruise control unit sits.

Are you not using the stock type setup (with the linkage stick or whatever it is called from the engine to the throttle cable), just the throttle cable directly to the linkage on the engine?

Do you have any pictures? This would seem to simplify things greatly.
