Dual Throttle -- what's next?

Not quite sure where to go with this. Is the dual-throttle set-up on the wrong side of the FW? The cabin side has lots of room for it.

Hi Harley,

I installed two throttle cables on the left and right side of the panel that were joined at the Viking engine air butterfly. The cable ends are 10-32 thread, which makes this easy.

I think the Jabiru is different. Do you have some photos showing the dual throttle set up?

Beautiful build, BTW!

I used brass cable end adjusters to pass the throttle cable thru the firewall, firewall shelf and at the carb throttle bracket.

I have one of the newer FWF kits from Jabiru and the dual throttle kit in mine installed on the inside of the cabin with just the single throttle cable going through the firewall.  I think either way will work. Here’s a picture of mine on the inside. I have completed my kit since this picture was taken and the setup works smoothly.

Thanks. I don't think it matters, but putting it on the cabin side simplifies a lot of things.
