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.

I'm in for one revision 8 material cut @ ~ $50.

Thank you

Tom Weber will probably be making these. Tom, are you saving all these
request.

Opps,  no,  I know there are a lot of requests.  I'm still trying to get these to cut and look decent.  How about this, if anyone would like to be put on a list for the flat parts of the slide throttle, email me directly and I'll keep track and let everyone know where we are with the part cutting what the costs will be and when delivery can be expected.  Tom Webber

BTW I just got the proto parts Tom. They look good. The edge finish is better
than I expected. A couple of strokes with a files should clean them
right up. Important where the Teflon rubs on the aluminum. You might
want to go down on the .2" dia. holes size to
just a pilot hole and let people match drill them out when clamped
together.

A good place to order the sheet aluminum is Industrial Metal Supply in
San Fernando Ca.
