Been slowly working on this project and finally came to the crossroads where I had to make a call on the throttle linkage bracket…
Decided to go for it and drill and tap holes in the existing timing cover. I found some pictures of the inside of the cover and it gave me enough confidence to give it a try. Worst case scenario I would have had to pull the timing cover, clean everything and then drill thru for studs. Luckily I didn’t have to do that, I was able to drill .25” deep and tap M6x.1 holes. I clamped ground bar stock to the throttle levers and then transfer punched the cover to ensure the bracket would line up correctly and everything was on the same plane. Pretty happy with the outcome, now on to the next problem...
