The stock throttle bracket that Van’s supplies doesn’t work with the Superior sump since the attach point is in a different location. I’m going to fabricate a custom bracket out of some 16 gauge steel (the same thickness as Van’s bracket). I used some really thin (0.004″) aluminum flashing I had on hand to mock up the bracket. This puts the cable on a direct path to the hole in the firewall and keeps it well clear of the exhaust and sump.
Here’s a shot from slightly lower in case that makes it more clear.
Here’s what the rough bracket looks like. I unfolded this and traced the pattern onto some 16 gauge stock I picked up from Home Depot. Cutting it out will be easy, but I’m still not quite sure how I’m going to bend this.
