Smile Installation of Vernier Throttle in RV-12 SLSA

We will install this in my SLSA on Tuesday. But I lent the installation instructions to a guy who ain't around. I downloaded it from this BLOG about a month ago when one of you very kindly sent the link to me.

Can somebody give me that link again?

This document disappeared into a black hole along with about $XXXX.00 worth of tools that got "lent" to somebody in the last 50 years. Then, of course, my age and lack of a medical may have produced the senility to make them escape into outer space or something.:=(

Thanks,
EBB::-)

Default Is a Vernier Throttle kit now available from Van's?

I asked about this a few weeks ago from the order desk while getting various other parts for my annual, but was told it was not available.

I talked to Gus Funnell and he ordered it for me. The Kaitlyn Tepe accepted the money so I think it's legal.

Tim:
I paid Van's $250 for the throttle. We installed it yesterday and found the installation pretty easy. The throttle works just fine. It is not exactly as you would remember a vernier throttle as I did on my Bonanza; you have to push or pull gently as you wind the nob. That is not a problem. You, of course, can also push/pull as before. The new springs are a lot softer.
I like the throttle. I hated the old one.
