Bryant helped out today with the build, thank you!  We drilled the third cable passthrough, lower left of the three in this photo, with the green cable.

I’ve decided for sure to keep the mixture control out of the throttle quadrant.  I would pull the throttle and make it vernier as well but I’m more concerned about minuscule mixture inputs than I am tiny throttle adjustments.  You can just see at the end of the unpainted throttle quadrant “box” the 7/8″ hole drilled for the throttle and prop cables to exit.   My 60″ throttle cable is 3″ too long.  I’ll need to order a custom one.  I haven’t determined whether the prop cable is ok or not and I think the mixture will work.  I really really want a new throttle quadrant.  This DJM part is nice but definitely not what I want.  It sits below grade and is not smooth.  I’ve removed the mixture lever already.

I want something older with a classic inwards bend and wooden top.  Now where to find it…
