I have died and gone to heaven! Geezus this works out just like the one I designed, but a million times better. Solves a lot of issues. Are these still available?

I've been published....kinda of

I did a linkage setup for Jason's Ghia awhile back...
He just notified me that he made the front cover of January, 2011 Hot VW's. He also told me that there is a good shot of the system in the article.
Here's the preview...

Pete,
Congratulations on being posted in the article. I wish they would have mentioned your set up in the narrative, but a pic and caption is pretty great. The only issue I see in the pic, is that the height of the cable in the bracket doesn't line up with the top of the pulley wheel as I have seen on your other set ups, and on the one I helped install. Do you know if this an installer mod due to some other issues with the turbo engine?

That was an early prototype. It was also the first throttle body setup and we didn't have much time to make adjustments.

I installed mine last week, and it's a night-and-day difference over the hex-bar. So much easier throttle actuation, and way better accuracy. My carbs stay in sync now no matter how many times I go full throttle.
Thanks Pete, and happy new year.

Ron, I have the drawings done, but, I'm currently in the process of locating a CNC mill and lathe. Doing it manually has it's restrictions

Good question!

as I also run a set of Jenvey's
and still would like to run a set.
You may go first Ron, I'll have version 2.0 then
PS interesting to learn your running COP now with chevy parts. Any link to your build? (might have missed it?)
Tnx.

Wally,
No real build thread but started posting in the FI forum since i was having some issues bench testing. the thread has morphed to a build thread now...kinda.

I had shipped Pete my bodies earlier to take measurements so us Jenvey folks could feel the love too.
Cant wait to check them out

Hi everyone,
Looking for information on where to order the kit??
I've PM'ed Pete so hopefully that is it, but was wondering if there is another way people have been doing this??
Thanks.
