I have a couple quick questions about Van's rear throttle kit. First, is Van's kit compatible with the deluxe throttle mounted up front or does it have to be custom fitted or modified? And second, I have the printed plans for the rear throttle and wonder if the supplied templates for cutting the bulkhead holes for the push/pull rod are really accurate? Normally, I would assume the templates show the exact location for the holes but on the prints they are labeled "theoretical" pushrod hole. In addition, the written instructions say to use the templates as a starting point for the locations. They go on to say to drill a 3/16 or 1/4 hole on the upper crosshair from each template. I see no crosshairs anywhere on the templates and the depicted holes are oblong in shape like you would expect them to be. I can call Van's on Monday but I often get more helpful info from this forum.
