Hi Paul-

Final install of the slide throttle turned up a failure mode I hadn't
expected, although it is obvious now.

The hole the throttle cable enters the slide body through is a fairly
close fit.  If the throttle cable is not perfectly in line with the
hole, the throttle cable will bind in the hole, making moving the cable
very difficult.  In my case, it made achieving WOT very difficult.

So -shall I enlarge the hole to prevent binding & call it good, or do I
need to find a nylon insert to allow a close fit w/o allowing binding to
occur?

So I am not sure I understand the problem.
Is there no room in front of the firewall to allow the installation
of a bracket that will hold the outer jacket of the push pull
cable in perfect alignment? Can you take a few pictures?

Is this bracket not working for some reason?

Do you need to put a hole in the firewall?

Perhaps you need larger holes in the bracket it self
that holds the throttle cable so the entire bracket
can be adjusted.

Of course a slightly larger hole for the push rod
to go through should not hurt. I am just trying to understand
the problem.
