Paul, can you read this attachment.  Its an IGS out put from solid works.
I modified
the slide throttle a little and would like your comments.  We can cut
radius's really
easily.  And I was wondering if we could use a Rod threaded perpendicular
to the
slide with a 3/32 SS rod to push and pull the slide. This would eliminate
the slot
and subsequently the minor leaking at the slot point.  If I'm off base
here please
let me know.  T.W.


Really really great idea Tom. Why did I not think of that? :) Simplifies
things
greatly with no slots in the covers required. You will have to go up to
1/4 inch
thick Teflon and spacer as the throttle control rods are usually 3/16 inch
in diameter (10-32 threaded). Up til now I have been using 1/8th inch
thick
Teflon and spacers. A 3/32" control rod is a bit wimpy :)

Make the steel (green) button a little larger
to be sure it does not roll over.
