Default throttle body mod for TV cable

Can anybody put up some photos of how they modded their cable driven throttle bodies for the TV cable from a 700R or 200 4R trans? Also, what bracket would you use with a LS6 intake to mount the end of the cable and the adjuster to? Thanks, Mac

I am still a bit confused as to what you did as I am using a 700r4 behind my LS1 in my chevelle. It appears to me you attached the tv cable to the throttle pedal on the interior side of the firewall. How did you make sure you had enough travel in the TV cable?

I cut off a piece from a carb. and welded it to my throttle body,worked perfect and modified the bracket on the intake to fit the tv cable.
I posted a pic awhile back.
