Today I finished installing the accelerator cable. Thanks to some excellent advice from this forum (see post #133), I decided to use a Lokar 36” throttle cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CONKFQ/) and a Fast cable mounting kit (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBOLWTM/).

These are really nice products with easy-to-follow instructions, and they fit perfectly. Here is how I routed the cable:



I shamelessly copied Papa’s idea of using 1” aluminum extension sleeves and longer valve cover bolts to create an elevated passageway for the cable routing:



I found that by rotating the Fast kit’s adjustable mounting bracket 180 degrees compared to the illustrated instructions, the throttle cable lined up better with the throttle:



In the picture above, you can see the adjustable bracket angles outboard, but the Fast instructions show it angling inboard. When I angled it inboard per the instructions, the cable approached the throttle at about a 5-degree angle. By flipping the orientation of the adjustable mounting bracket, the approach is nearly 0 degrees, as shown above.

I am using the Russ Thompson accelerator pedal, which has the advantage of being adjustable forward and backward along the ¾ inch frame tube. I set it so that it is just slightly lower than the brake pedal at rest and allows full throttle without hitting any obstructions:



I’ve got it on my “to do” list to install a pedal stop to prevent over-extension of the throttle.
