Hi Loren, Thanks for posting those pictures. Nice work. I considered drilling a hole in the throttle arm to affix the servo cable in exactly the same spot you drilled yours. I hesitated to follow through on that idea because the installation manual for the Audiovox cruise control says that the maximum travel for the servo cable -- from idle to full throttle -- is 45mm. According to my rough measurements, if the servo cable is attached to that attractive spot, it is so far from the center of rotation of the throttle arm that the servo cable has to travel more than 50mm, and maybe as much as 55mm, to swing the arm from the rearward idle position to the fully-forward full throttle position. This suggests that, when climbing a grade (and we got 'em in California), the servo would not be able to achieve that last 5mm to 10mm of pull needed to reach the fully forward position. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
