PMS sells a long cable if you don't want to use the bellcrank.

Threadjack! Sorry... I'll open a new one if needed but decided it would be good to have it all in one place for searches.
What I have:
914 stock accel cable using the cruise control bracket on the 3.2 engine in a 914.
Throttle linkage brackets, with the dual spring attachment, unused but installed.
What I don't have:
The shaft pull rod, stock return springs, the $100 coat hanger or the bell crank.
What I think I want:
Stock 914 cable, alternate, stock 911 cable, with a way to secure and adjust the cable
Stock shaft pull rod
Stock return springs X3
Trying to eliminate the bell crank and expensive coat hanger and go right to the throttle linkage bracket with the dual spring attachment.

Don't want to reinvent the wheel just looking for a better option than I currently have.

Correct. I think mine is actually just an aftermarket 914/6 cable. Not sure if i got this from PMS or somewhere else.

The throttle cable is simply looped upwards, routed through the slit for the linkage and connects directly to the throttle body on the engine.

@SirAndy I have heard a std 914-6 cable works and has the correct ends on it. How are you securing the engine end of the accel cable? Is it adjustable for slack over time? Got any pics?

No pics but it has a metal sleeve at the end where it hooks into the throttle body receiver. I don't remember if there is an adjustment on the engine end.

It's been 15 years since i last had to look at that part.

I know, that is why I want to try and duplicate it. Having trouble getting details on it though.

I have seen 2 or 3 options for the bell crank attachment on the 901 trans. They are all very nice. I am trying to eliminate that and the coat hanger and go to the next connection point just through the hole in the tin. Still keeping as much stock as possible. 914 or 914-6 accel cable is fine, even a 911 cable would be fine if I have to for the right connections on the end. I need a way to secure the cable end and be slightly adjustable at that next connection point.

Might be a waste of time but it is just research at the moment.

I'm not sure why you would want to eliminate the bell crank. It's simple, it works, it is adjustable, it aligns well with the carbs. Best, Mark

Just seems like extra connections and parts that are not needed. I am running FI. Plus I do not have some of those parts and that stupid coat hanger is expensive! So is the bell crank modified to fit a 901. Probably $600 or more to get it working in my car.

Should be around $250. Rich makes and sells the kit for about that much and if you have an early intermediate plate, you don’t need the bolt on adaptor. I’m not sure where you are getting $600.

His kit is $475 and I am still missing more parts. And I might want a spare 914-6 accel cable just in case, more $$$. No complaints with his kit, just trying to avoid using it.

I didn’t realize prices had gone up that much.

Everything has unfortunately.
I was looking to buy something for the car 2 weeks ago, while I looked at it and put it in the cart, the price went from 225 to 315. The site had been adjusting their prices while I shopped.
