Works slick. I already found a few improvements I can make.
One, it will have fewer bolt holes and bolts.

The first pic is looking at it from the point of view of the engine.
The second pic shows the side connected to the bends with silicon hose.

What's the failure mode for a broken throttle cable linkage?  I assume
it fails-open somehow.

Stuck at whatever it was set to last. There is a bit of friction in the slide.

Kind of hard to fail a straight, push pull 1/4 inch steel rod that goes straight 
through the firewall with a knob or T handle on the end :) The only other
part is a aircraft AN clevis on the other end of the rod where is fastens
to the slide.
