Throttle Clamp?

[zrwhat]

What is everyone using for a throttle cable clamp? Pictures would be helpful!

Thanks!

I make my throttle cable clamps for my K&B 3.5 from thin sheet metal(aluminum or brass). Here's a couple of photos showing my cable clamp on a K&B 3.5.

Here's a top view of the metal throttle clamp. I roll the metal over a drill bit to shape the metal to accept the throttle cable.

Thanks Jerry, I am hoping to get it it on the water this weekend. It is finally going to be in the 70's here in Indiana

Most hobby shops will stock them, Du--Bro, Klampz make them. 707 Specialties makes a really nice one.

Zrwhat,

Dude! How close are you to Elkhart, In?

Z is in Ft Wayne. I use a Dubro #202 landing gear strap. I bolt it through one of the motor mount lugs. I slide my cable housing through it with a piece of fuel tubing on each side. I put a tie wrap on each side and no problems.

Actually I am on Lake Wawasee in Syracuse(I seem to be at the hobby shop every week, which is in Ft. Wayne), so basically I live right in between Ft. Wayne and Elkhart. Its a small world

Thanks guys, I ended up machining my own. Ended up very similar to the 707 clamp, I'll post some pics this evening.

If everything goes well, and I can locate my receiver or buy another radio(**** Futaba stuff is on backorder), I should be on the water tomorrow or Sunday.

Can't wait to see how it runs, I've made quite a few changes

Hey Kevin that linkage would look great in a yellow boat with checkers on it! h34r:

I don't have a picture handy but I like the ones that came on the OS outboards and I machine them out of alum. works great and it is back far enough to be out of the way. Scott
