throttle brackets

Ran into a problem tonight hooking up the throttle and mixture brackets for a new Superior IO-360 with horizontal injector. The problem is that Superiors new sump setup dosen't work with the Van's bracket kit so does anyone know if Superior supplies a kit or somebody else make something or do I have to machine my own brackets.

Not Superior but hope these help.

Thanks, but the new superior setup has the throttle boss in front right where the the #1 cylinder intake runner comes in. Just like the picture you sent but move your mount up to the front cylinder.

There, I've posted a few pics of my homemade throttle bracket.
I got the idea from another RV-builder on this forum.

Also, try a search on "Throttle bracket" on this forum and you'll get ALOT of info..

Good luck!

Good pictures of the setup.
Yes, you'll have to fabricate your own bracket as the one Van supplies do not have the same hole alignment. I used the same one from my ryton pump setup.

Be aware that the vetterman exaust now crosses underneath the sump oil drain plug. You'll have to move your quickdrain to a side port. I thought I'd save you the aggravation in the event you install the quickdrain prior to setting up the exhaust. Make sure you do a test fit.

Here is a pic of my approach. I cut the Vans one down as I wanted it out of steel and I figured I could make this work.



Then here it is after painting and installation.



And then of course you will have the mixture bellcrank mod to contend with if you have the new aluminum sump replacement.

If you have a Precision FI Servo, I rotated the servo to put the throttle on the bottom and the mixture on the top. I made a bracket similar to the one on the sump boss shown above for the throttle and clamped the mixture cable on the corner of the sump coming around the pilot side of the engine. No bellcrank and only one bracket to make. Both cables have full authority. You just need to see what works best for you. Use some plastic tubing like pitot/static line to see what length you will need. My throttle cable was the standard length Vans sent for the IO-360. The mixture cable needed to be longer. I made the cable penetrations through the firewall recess. I could dig up some pictures. If your interested just email me.

To make the mixture cable routing easier, have you considered reverse rotation mixture? Precision can modify your injector body so the mixture control works in the opposite sense.

Thanks for the response and pictures, I was just hoping I could buy one, but it looks as though I will make one. It just seems strange that Superior would put the bosses where they did when they know that just about all the push pull cables have the same distance between mount and rod end bearings.

On Superior engine, I redrilled the bracket so it was turned correctly. My problem is the throttle cable is too short. Even if I make a new bracket, I still need an extension. (horizontal induction).

I'm going to order a custom length cable tomorrow.
