Of course, that's always an option as well, but it's slightly more involved
and is a bit overkill for the problem that James described. I know that you
prefer the feel of the cable throttle, Joe. But on my RHD Spitfire, I
personally preferred the mechanical linkage. When I went with the Keihin quad
carbs I was forced to go with a cable type, but if I had my druthers,
Carruthers, I would have stayed with the original setup. I'm running the
cable type now, of course. No complaints, really. Different strokes for
different folks!
Cheers,
Jeff

Or simply fit a cable type throttle from a later Spitfire and rid
yourself of the problem completely.
