I re-worked the swivel at the throttle end to clamp the cable using an 8/32 grub screw inserted from the left, instead of the nut clamping arrangement which causes a lot of the problems with either type of throttle cable.

I also made a similar fitting for the mixture cable at the aerocarb/injector. It is longer than standard and keeps the cable straight out of the holder and does not bind when clamped. The grub screw is on the left (with a locknut), its a remachined AN5 bolt and uses a AN4 castle nut and cotter pin on the attachment to the mixture arm.
