    Twin throttle cable Q.

    I have the pedal block and the cables to fit my twin 40's and I understand how it goes together but there seems very little space on the bulkhead if I drill another hole for the 2nd cable. Looking from the drivers seat, to the left and it will hit on the pedal box, to the right and it will come out under the inner wing. Anybody got any pictures from both sides of the bulkhead? Thanks.

    On mine I drilled a second hole to the right of the original (from inside) It comes through the lip of the inner wing inside the engine bay.
    To get the block that slips over the pedal arm to line up I bent the arm over a bit, then put another bend in it to make the top bit vertical.
    You need to take the pedal out to do it. There is an "R" clip just inside the pedal box (not the one on the outside). Take that out and you can just about slide the pedal out.

    Does the cable that goes in the original hole fit/hold ok? The plastic fitting on the sytec cables that go to the bulkhead only needs a small hole, it will be very loose in the original 12/15mm hole, I will make the new hole the right size for the extra one.

    Thanks,

    Make up a new plate to mount both the cables on the bulkhead, dont use the original hole.
