Here is what it looks like when the
TPS and bracket are installed. Now remember a few pages ago I said that
this would be a simple thing to install? I don't know why I said that
because the throttle cable bracket is sticking way up in the air now. NO
GOOD!! The other thing that's wrong is the new quick-disconnect pin is
to close to the bracket and won't give me full throttle. Things will
have to be modified again so first I'm going to make some clearance
between the quick-disconnect pin-and-bracket.

The easy way to do this is to just
bend the throttle cable bracket a little. As you can see, the rag around
the bracket is to protect it from the vice jaws and now were ready to do
some adjusting. A quick bend with a wrench and we're good to go. It
didn't take much because all I needed was about 1/4" of room
between the quick-disconnect pin and bracket which means a very small
bend on the locating hole area. After a check to see how it fit, I had
enough clearance which meant full throttle. Now I have to deal with the second
problem which is the TPS bracket.

The bracket that will be made for the
TPS is going to be about the shape you see below. Making templates out
of paper is easy and accurate. All I need to do now is transfer this
shape to a piece of aluminum and cut it out.

Here is the bracket that is almost
finished. I'll be tweaking it slightly here and there for clearance but
you get the idea. The two holes at the bottom are for mounting this
bracket to the throttle bracket and the other one at the top is for mounting the TPS.
All these holes are 1/4-20 which is a very common size. Lets have
a look on the bottom side.
