Default new throttle bracket

I was using a make shift bracket that I got with my Lokar throttle cable. It was bubba at his best!




so after thinking about it for a while, I got some aluminum, mocked up a few things and had it machined up and then sanded/polished. Much much better now!









there are a few more details to work through, but slowly but surely they are getting knocked off one by one.....
