Pix and possible solution (was: Creative throttle linkage solutions)

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

So after digging in and actually looking at things for the first time in 
a couple weeks, I realized that we had already swapped in an Audi 5k t/b 
(a "low-post"/big bore as opposed to the fox t/b, which is a 
"high-post"/big bore). Hopefully the following pic with the two t/b next 
to each other explains it a bit better:

Cathy - you'll note the delete cover on the back of the intake where the 
CSV should be. A guy on the 'tex had a delete cover installed and then 
they sheared of a hair of the passenger side of the intake for a flat 
surface and plumbed the CSV in the traditional location. It's pretty trick.

Only thing is I have to swap the idle and full throttle switches onto 
the A5K t/b from the fox t/b. Now I have a reason to go buy a tap/die 
kit!  :)   In the pic, you'll also note the heim joint connector. It's 
the only way I can get 100% free range. Now I just have to figure out 
how to connect the existing throttle cable (traditional mk1 style) to 
the heim joint (can it be welded??).

Here's a few more progress pix in case anyone's curious:
