Mark if you get a chance could you measure the slide throttle
         end of the throttle cable you bought and send us a sketch?

    Not sure I understand what you mean, Paul.

    Are you asking for the various dimensions, etc for the end of the cable
    assembly, as received from AS&S?  Or are you asking about the mounting
    bracket I fabbed to hold it all together?

    Here is a side view 2D super imposed with a picture of the throttle
    cable end. What I am not sure about is the 3.050" dimension.

Paul-

I drove out to the airport this morning to get your answers.

Here are photos of my assembly, with a machinists rule - you should be
able to extract whatever measures you wish.  I have taken photos both at
the full forward and full aft throttle position.  Note that in use one
never achieves full-aft throttle -- the slide throttle throw is less than
the cable permits.  I chose to normalize such that full forward was at
the panel.  Thus "full aft" when everything is connected is in fact only
about 2/3 - 3/4 of the full aft pictured.

I also removed the rubber boots so more exact measurements are
possible.  Note that in the photos with the throttle fully extended, I
positioned the rule such that 0 corresponded with the tip of the
throttle -- there is some parallax in some of the photos that makes it
appear the ends of the rule and throttle do not align.  This is a
distortion from camera position.

And yes - I am sending the photos in their full pixel glory -- I laugh
at those with puny dial-up connection.  Bwahahahaha....

Thanks Mark. I had to scale them down in all their glory. :)
