914-6 throttle cable - no bell crank or other bits Options

[914forme]

My six project I am back to getting parts to make it a runner. I read an post here I think about a cable from Patrick Motorsports that allows you to not run the bell crank and linkage. The engine in me would prefer to get ride of the rubgoldbergesk contraption that makes up the 914-6 throttle linkage.

Yes I have the factory version, and the Rich Johnson version, what can I say I like options.

I think it is this one has anyone had success with this cable?

I made mine using the stock /4 throttle cable.
-the crank from a 911, I heated it cherry so the brass melted and turned it to its new orientation.

-I used a 911 throttle pull rod, I had to cut some out of the rod length and welded it back up.

- I used a long bolt (cut off and hole drilled for cotter pin) for the crank pin, a bit of bicycle handle, some 1/16" steel, some welding drilled some holes so ot mointed on the side cover and made the tranny mount for the cable. Turned out good but was a bit overkill.

-Made the curve channel for routing the speedo clutch and throttle cable out of an old tent pole, some clamps and and I welded on some tabs, see pic below.
