(I tried all the DIY shortcuts and nearly burned the clutches up in my rebuilt TH700R4. Once I set it up properly I put 200,000 miles on my Street Rod with no problems.)

Ok, so you have an EFI throttle body. That’s helpful. Do you have a throttle cable bracket and throttle cable, yet?
Lokar (and others) makes a bracket specifically for throttle body EFI and the associated throttle and TV cables.I used the carb version on my ‘61 with a carb and 700r4. Here’s a pic you can blow up to see the specific set up. I’ll post some options and part numbers once you let me know what components you already have given you are in the UK, don’t want to buy duplicates and would like to get this done right the first time.
Zoom in to see the bracket, throttle cable and TV cable. Using Lokar, your set up would be similar. I choose a polished bracket and stainless sleeved cables. They also have a black bracket and black cables for less bling and a more stock look. Let me know which you prefer.
thank you for your help .i like the stainless set up i don't have anything at the moment is there a complete kit i could buy and yes i need to get it right first time
A word on the throttle cable. You will need to modify your accelerator pedal slightly, but given your other work I don’t see this as a problem.
thank you so much for taking the time to help . i have just bought all that from amazon and will be here in the uk by the 23 march and cheaper and quicker than summit racing . cheers kev
