I installed the throttle hand lever last night and then tried to test fit the appearance group console tonight. I found that the throttle lever is too far forward to work as designed with the console.
Has anyone run into this situation before and found a solution? I am considering turning the throttle lever around 180 degrees but I am not sure yet if this would work correctly or not. Too tired tonight to figure anything out but was hopeful someone had dealt with this already. Jeff B |

So is the tangerine Racing one different? It functions identically to the original, but mounts in a different place on the tunnel, thus eliminating interference with the console. Hmm, that one looks like it might work in my '66 912. I have one of Mark's on my '74 w/carbs and wanted one for my 912 but it would have to occupy the same space as the heater lever. There's no reason yours won't fit a 912 is there, Chris? |
