Finally I am very very happy with the connection between
throttle cable and Teflon. Works great. Bullet proof. Will ship
tomorrow Mark.

When you drill the Teflon 3/4 inch for the attach button,
clamp it down. The drill will try to dig in and jerk the Teflon
out of your hand. It is too expensive to ruin.

Hi Paul,  good news,  I've created one Teflon slide and I used a brad point bid.  I
secured the Teflon inside the spacer for lateral support during the operation.
Seemed to work just fine.  By using the spacer it is the guide for repeatability of
many slides.  FWIW.  Hope Mark can test this soon if it operates like we hope, then
I'll start making more spacers and those still interested will get the chance to
purchase the kit.  Time will tell.
