Question throttle linkage + exhaust

has any one got photos of pedal to holley carb throttle linkage as Im just installing engine in #118 and its another piece of the kit missing so a bit of fabrication is in order. Length of cable would be use full but a bit os string will probably be adequate!

also does any other manufacturer make a compatable exhaust to fit the rf with out crossmember interference?

They do a seriously long accelerator cable that works well in my Dax.
I know Paul Walton used the same in his Tornado

Route the cable with as few bends in as possible (if possible direct from the pedal down the right tunnel (At first I was going to loop around and down left tunnel as the cable was long enough but this adds a further 180 degrees of bend for the cable to work with) - out near the gear change mechanism then past the chassis members and up to the carb??? above the gearbox)

Probably need to manufacture the end brackets but at least you have the bit in the middle!
