Kai,
This is exactly what I did with my throttle linkage years ago. I got
annoyed with the play in the stock W. Heath Robinson linkage, and replaced
it with a cable. This eliminated nearly all the free play allowing really
nice throttle control - not that it ever made a noticeable difference in my
"fireball" stock motor, but perception counts for a lot! I'd recommend this
mod to anyone wanting more throttle control. I found all the parts at a
shop selling air-cooled VW hotrod stuff, but any hotrod shop should have it.
Good luck with the car. Please post some pictures of the "new" baby.
