I've been doing a little investigation into throttle quadrants for my 7A and figured I'd share what I found. DJM Manufacturing sells a few different models of quadrant:

The best option for mounting in the center of a side-by-side RV is the CMCT2L or CMCT3L:
I noticed on Vans site that they are selling an RV-10 quadrant as well:
http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?browse=controls&product=10-quadrant
It's bundled as a kit with cables for an RV-10 with IO-540 engine, but you can also buy it separately for around $310 (for the 3 lever model). According to DJM (the manufacturer) this quadrant will also fit the RV-7 and -9, because the panel/subpanel spacing is the same. The advantage of the RV-10 quadrant over the CMCT2/3L is that it bolts directly to the panel and subpanel. There's no need to fabricate a mounting bracket. It also includes a cable housing mount. The RV-10 model is about an inch wider.
If you decide to go with the CMCT2L or CMCT3L, Vans doesn't carry them. You'll have to order them from Aircraft Spruce.
