Once I get that Show Planes bracket in, I'll be able to look at my options.

Here's another thought. I'm not sitting in front of my quadrant right now, but I bet it would be possible to locate the cable lower on the quadrant to allow full, or mostly full throw using the standard gov. lever arm. Although, it may be too much of an angle for where these anchor on the quadrant.

With the Hartzell gov arm extension, I'm able to get them to all line up.

There are three variations to the throttle quadrant for the 10 that I'm aware of:

1. Van's per plan
2. Van's per Geoff's panel mod
3. Geoff's per his new design.

I have #2 and I believe Ed has #3. Implementation will vary from one to the other. The arm extension will allow a longer throw, which may help you configure the throttle alignment better.

I had the same problem.

I cut a square out of the ramp around the cable. Then I made up a plate with the hole in the middle and a narrow slot to get it around the cable, centred it up on the cable, trimmed to size and riveted in place with Cherrymax. Filled the small area of slot left showing with some white RTV. OK, not the absolutely tidiest of solutions but it works and isn't in an area where people normally inspect your workmanship!
