Feb 02, 2022     Throttle cable bracket - (2.2 hours)       Category: Firewall Forward
Finished the fabrication of the new throttle cable bracket:

1. Marked the bend lines using the original cardboard template.
2. Formed the 90-degree bend by starting the bend on my bending brake. Then, to get a more gentle bend radius, I hammered the rest of the bend over the rounded edge of my workbench.
3. Next, I made the two offset bends. I held the part up to the engine and tweaked the bends a bit. I also trimmed off a bit from the top.
4, Drilled all three holes, taking special care to move one of the attachment holes to turn the bracket slightly inward (about 5 degrees) compared to the previous version. Deburred all holes.
5. Sanded the edges and generally cleaned up the part, in preparation for having it powder-coated.
