Cable Throttle body vs DBW

I welded a bracket to my DBW pedal so I could use an AR cruise module for my swap (the plug & play electrical modules didn't work). You could do something similar for the TV cable that the 700R4 needs (and for your cruise setup).
Just find an old throttle body from a 700R4 car/truck and measure the cable pull from idle to WOT. Then make the attachment arm on the pedal the needed length to get the same amount of cable travel from the pedal.
I did end up reshaping the stationary bracket to give me more toe room, but your TV cable would come from the firewall and could be the stationary bracket.

You know what I was actually thinking of. I have a spare junk DBW throttle body. I was planning on dissecting it, and on the shaft that opens the butterfly, drill a hole tack a rod to the shaft so that it will stick out of the throttle body, attach a cam to it from a cable throttle body. Since I have nothing to lose Ill take it apart anyway but I really like that pedal you have came out.

im willing to bet youll freak out the pcm, if it takes to much currant to open the throttle plates, the pcm will go into a reduced power/limp home mode.
