Found the gasketing material; I'll be fitting it onto the slide throttle
Saturday morning.

I'm now investigating how to make the mechanical linkage between the
slide throttle and the throttle handle.  Any notional ideas for what I
might fab for this?  The slide throttle requires roughly a 1 3/4" throw
between full open & full closed - so clearly I'll need a bell crank of
some sort.  If there's something that does the job I can simply order
from McMaster Carr, then I'd probably go that way.  Otherwise, I'll need
to design something I can mount onto the existing slide throttle assembly.

Order a 10-32 throttle control cable from AC Spruce
Pages 152 153 and 154 in the 2004 2005 catalog. Part # A1760
(877) 477 7823 I would get the catalog first if you don't
have one. No bell crank required drill two holes.
One in the instrument panel and one in the firewall.
They come in 3,  4 or 5 foot lenths.  You need to make a
bracket that bolts around the water pump for the 10-32 end
of the control cable. 3D for the new people.
