Throttle body ball joint linkage
Who sells an adapter that allows a ball joint style throttle body to mate up to a VW style throttle cable? Thanks in advance.

Most auto parts stores, and good hardware stores will have the snap on clip and the ball set up.
Look for one with a setscrew on the side to clamp cable.
If you cant find that type, get one with a small ID and drill and tap, you can mod a short version easily, and having a screw with a head is better than a tiny setscrew... Make the screw as large as reasonably possible for a wider clamp area and less chance of stripping.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Model airplanes use a connector that goes from cable to threads. You can solder those ends on the cable. They come in different thread sizes and pitches.

Here is one that is 4-40 thread. They also have ball connectors.
I used one of these before and they worked good.
