Throttle cable position LHD SBC

[crossram]

I am breaking trail here putting in a SBC throttle cable into a extended LHD footwell chassis.

Not sure the factory has done it because they had no clue on location, so what I would like to see is a LHD car with the SBC cable installed and the steering column in. This will help me determine how to line mine up.

Thanks

Here is an instal for LHD.
I doubt the instal will be much different for the extended footwell or RHD for that matter.

Hear is what I see as the difference the steering shaft is in the way, so I wanted a shot showing a LHD SBC showing the cable vs the steering shaft.

Does the cable fall on the left or right side of the steering shaft?

The other difficulty of the extended box is that our mount point is half as narrow only two of the rivet holes would be used , so I am going to have to fabricate something....

Used a string to show position left side is off the center of throttle , if I move it over then I run into steering shaft




Drop string on right side has the same problem but looks better, down side is drilling the angled chassis foot extension


i


if I did drill the right side do I go in vertical or at and Angle? I am assuming the throttle cable will run down the right side of the chassis?

In the photo I showed the cable ends up on the right of the shaft when looking forwards. However, it could be either side as it is flexible and the fixing point is much lower than the shaft. In the extended footwell the shaft will pass through the bulkhead much lower down causing your dilemmer.

where would you drill the hole?
