Hi Mike, I have looked at that. The new pin would need to be sufficiently to the port side to avoid interfering with the travel of the throttle cable. But the Audiovox CC's servo cable has only 45mm of travel. The new mounting location puts the servo cable so far from the center of rotation of the throttle arm that it describes over 50mm of travel from idle to full throttle. The CC would not be able to apply full throttle. Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") KG6RCR |
