After getting my brand new (replica) rear throttle pate back from the trophy shop, I (mostly) installed the rear throttle today:

1. I started to apply the plastic throttle label plate, but surprisingly, I found it didn't fit very well. So I spent some time carefully sanding the left edge of it, then I re-sanded the two left-side corner bevels. Then I slid the throttle arm into the slot and found that the UHMW plastic guides needed to be filed a bit, too. Once these jobs were done, I used double-sided foam to attach the plate.

2. Attached the throttle arm to the control rod. (There are so many blind connections in these throttle quadrants, I am almost getting used to working while looking in a mirror.)

3. Installed the side plate of the RCP throttle quadrant to the fuselage with low-profile black socket-cap screws.

4. Attached the clevis fork at the forward end of the RCP throttle pushrod to the FCP throttle arm. The clevis pin was pretty easy to insert. The cotter pin was a lot trickier, but I got it done. Now I have to figure out how in the world I'm going to bend the pin. I worked for over an hour, but wasn't able to do it. I'll try again tomorrow, or hire someone with tiny hands to do it.
