   Hi Paul, Gordon, int.al.
   Why is the lever action so important? How often are we likely to adjust
   the mixture? Mount the valve on the engine side of the firewall with
   the shaft coming thru into the cockpit with an extension to the inst.
   panel and adjust the mixture with the knob. I suspect the reason we
   have mixture 'levers', is because that is the type of control on
   Lycosaurus carbs. If we retain the screw knob, it is "vernier"
   adjustment already.

   BR, Dave McC



   You mean a solid shaft extension right? That would be better than a
   cable because it would eliminate any potential slop. It wouldn't
   need to be that long to reach from fiewall to instrument panel. This
   should work well.

   Regards,

   Gordon.
