Throttle is DONE :clapping
This morning I decided to go ahead and use the Hurst style handle for the throttle, it just felt right and it's heavy enough that it doesn't feel toylike. The shaft is a 3/4" aluminum pipe over a 1/2-20 threaded 1/2" aluminum shaft
Made a trip to Lowes and got some of the stainless hardware I needed after thes pice were taken and it's together. I think I'll make some shims to get rid of some of the looseness once the console is in paint.. I also mounted the choke between the fuel select and electrical shutoff to the right of the drivers seat. Once again, it fits in there and the cable was too short to go all the way up the console.
Moving forward I hard mounted the motor mount plate, reinstalled the starter with stainless hardware as well as the expansion pipe and am now rooting through the electrical box getting it ready to install that stuff. Had to swap the main power and starter leads so they come out of the correct side of the box for my install. I also found a bilge pump down i the shed from the old livewell and cleaned the fish scales out of it's filter and placed it in the back so I don't forget it.
Next is the fuel system. I need to go to wally world and get a 1/4" hose primer bulb and then stop at NAPA tomorrow for the clamps and fuel hose
