Os Throttle Cable Mount

[Grimracer]

So.... I think we all agree the OS throttle cable mount is about the best little mount for out uses.. but.. the cable housing can still slip some times when tightened in place.

Here is what I do..

I will start with a new one but you can use the one you have now.

Remove the top keeper and other screws.

Using a 1/16" drill bit drill all the way through the center of the pad

Take a 1/4" long #2 screw and run it up though the hole from the bottom up

Just run the screw in so the very tip sticks though the hole

Re-install the mount and hook up like you would normally.

The little point will keep the cable from slipping back and forth in the mount.

Just a little tip from the OS racing team...

No more squashing fuel line for me!!

I use the smallest size fuel tube over the throttle cable then clamp

never had one move. If you use the really small size throttle cable ( I like it ) I use the about

1/2 an inch of the other larger size outer over the top then use the fuel tube

Jim.. I did that for years.. and every once and a while.. well.. oil water you get it.. Larger this smaller that..

This is just "one way" to solve for X

Yep many ways to peel an orange as long as its working.

I saw a guy on here who put the OS inflight needle into the carb an used another throttle cable and mount

to operate it. Pretty sweet idea
