Well, my picture posting abilities continue to suck. Apparently I used too many words in the picture showing the cam and neither the picture or the words came through. I'll try again but the essence of the design consists of (3) .090" pieces of aluminum, the inner piece is the actual cam that the cable rides on the outer two pieces are shaped like the cam but are larger to trap the cable.
the cam initially is 2" from the throttle center line and ends up at 1". This gives a very slow and smooth throttle opening. The cable is multi-stranded and teflon lined with rod ends at each end to retain the cable and allow for angle change. This particular design has a threaded stop for initial tension and is designed so that the pedal hitting the floor is the full open stop. I have some really big throttle return springs that would give mechanical linkage fits but work fine with the cable. It has a very nice smooth feel to the throttle now.
