Looking for a TV cable DBW thread

Looking for a TV cable DBW thread I have searched for hours and I could swear it was here somewhere that sombody installed their TV cable onto their DBW pedal assembly. It was pretty ingenious and I wanted to show someone else. Has anyone seen it?
Thanks
Mark

It's not this, is it?...
Throttle Body/DBW Pedal
I used the stock 78mm fly-by-wire electronic throttle body, and found an FBW pedal and TAC module out of an Avalanche to use with it. I made a Franken-pedal by cutting off the stock original pedal, and did a little cut-and-paste onto the upper part of the FBW pedal assembly to retain the 70’s-looking pedal pad on the electronic pedal’s position-sensing servo (see below for a pic of it). As is noted later on, I used a TH350 which I needed to find a place to mount the kickdown cable to. Since this pedal is the only point in the acceleration-control system that actually rotates, I had to rig up the kickdown cable to the electronic pedal. I did this by measuring the pedal sweep in degrees, and through some nifty trigonometry I found out where on the pedal and the pedal’s base to weld on some bracketry to mount the cable, in order for the cable to be pulled 1inch through the pedal’s 20degrees of rotation.
DISCLAIMER: this one of the first things I attempted welding, please don't judge me!!...

thanks but that is for a 350 kick down cable (I found that one yesterday while searching). The one I am looking for has pictures just like that but is for a TVcable. Tthe guy goes into detail about having to figure the arc of the pedal to get the TV cable to operate correctly. It was`slick.

You sure it wasn't my setup? I originally designed it for a TV cable because I didn't know that was a kickdown cable, I thought my th350 had a TV, and so when I originally described it to other people in other threads, I described it as a TV cable thingy. I thought of the whole exactly 1-inch-of-pull and adjustment for fine-tuning and everything...
Thanks for trying.

Use frojoe's design (great job and cool idea) with this geometry:
