Default Those with single planes, your throttle linkage setup?

Looking for some setups to gather some ideas on setting up the linkage system on single plane intakes and aftermarket throttle bodies.

What are you using as bracketry? And your throttle cable is? Pictures?

I assume most guys run a fabricated bracket and some sort of lokar cable.

Anyway, post up fellas!

Tony.

I used a nitruos daves elbow with uses the stock linkage......and it fits under a factory camaro hood....hahaha....double bonus! oh and a mono blabe throttle body which fits better under the hood then a round one...and i heard the round ones have tuning or drivablity issue too.

I used the stock cable, took the factory bracket and traced it out on a piece of aluminum angle from Lowes and dremel tooled it until it fit the cable end/lock like the factory bracket.

Drilled and tapped two pieces on aluminum stock, marked and fitted them to the elbow and had them welded on.

Shepherd, please do.

I have to run a kickdown as well, but nothing big. I just dont want to spend hours making a bracket if there is something that gets me 70% then i can fiddle with it.
