Re: Throttle rod

This is a good idea. I like using the fuel line to cover the threaded rod, nice finishing touch. The biggest problem with my throttle rod is that I had to weld an extention onto it and I don't like the fact that you can see the join .... with the fuel line the problem is resolved and looks good as well.

esll.
