One of the things on my engine to-do-list, was to make the brackets for the throttle and mixture control cables.
\nLike always, I started by making cardboard templates. It’s an easy way to figure out how to shape the bracket, where to place angles and so on.<\/p>\n

Once happy with the result, you have a cutting template you can flatten and trace to the metal.

First I made a sample in thin sheet. It is also good to have, as I don’t have a sheet bender and can use this for angle references when bending.

Template traced to .080\u2033 alclad sheet.

I cut and bended the bracket at work the other day, then drilled the bolt and cable holes.
\nI am not quite happy with the angle of the cable flange, also, I have decided to remake it in stainless steel.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also made a template for the mixture cable, so I know how much stainless steel plate to buy.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The mixture cable bracket will be much smaller.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two templates are ready, all I need now is some stainless…
