Throttle/Mixture bracket for vertical draft Silverhawk FI
 
Anyone have any photos of throttle- mixture bracket that you used for vertical draft Silverhawk fuel servo for 0360 A1A. I have read some use VA 149 which is used for carb and some use VA 182. I have a VA149. I understand that either will require some modification.

Any help greatly appreciated. If easier, email to me at neilclay@bellsouth.net
Also a brief explanation would help

I have a VA-182 on mine. It didn't need any mods. Superior IO-360.

Pics aren't the greatest but maybe you'll get the idea.

Thanks for photo. Looks great. Any other tips or problems. Has the FI system worked well?

About 175 hours now. Happy with it- works as advertised. My preference would be for EFI, but that's not going to happen any time soon.

I used the same bracket as Lars on my IO320-D2A. My Silverhawk system has performed flawlessly.
