I wonder if you wouldn't be better with the throttle linkage around the other way and using a shorter throttle cable though, as that would get rid of that comparatively sharp bend where the cable doubles back on itself that could, over time, lead to a heavy pedal.
Keep an eye on those fuel pipes too, as modern rubber hose is sh**e and can start perishing in mere months.
Cheers. Ive tried to keep it tidy and its better than the 1.8 as it wasnt thrown together on a back street in london rushing to map.
For the throttle linkage yes its long. if i had a strut brace i would be cabletying it up to that the same as the 1.8 but i havent fitted that yet as its in a state. Havent investigated shorter cables yet as ive never really taken one out to look at it or even see how it attaches to the pedal. The linkage has all the extra spacers and washers fitted now so is exactly how it should be in the jenvey tech diagrams. Works well so far but you can still see that the cable is cable tied to the linkage. I have bought two cable ends now but have fitted neither as i dont trust them not to pop off the cable. I looked at the arrangement chambers has on his car and he uses a stopper the same as mine but then a massive one just after it to make sure it doesnt come off. He was in a race once where it came off on the first bend! D:
the fuel pipes ive bought are the decent standard of SAE30R9 which is the one for high pressure injection systems i believe. Ive replaced fuel hoses in the bay probably 3 or 4 times over the years as it never seems to last.
