Is it similar to the hart setup where you have a bracket to reverse the pull?

oppliger should be able to tell you, ask him a question on Facebook

Speak to oppliger and mk motorsport, I think you just need the simple bracket.

it is annoying when you buy an expensive part and the seller doesn’t tell you the simple fixes you need too.

The same thing happened to me when I bought an MIS manifold from Oppliger. No throttle cable bracket solution.
I bought the Anembo Engineering bracket. Perfect fit.

I bought a simple bracket when I got my A&S inlet which works well.

You can see the bracket in this photo.

I could probably make a bracket fit but it's the actual part on the throttle body where the cable clips onto that I'm having issues with

There was a picture on Facebook of spec-r making a custom bracket for a fancy manifold. Think I’ll drop mine off there this week as mine don’t move properly and puts the cable at a funny angle. I’ve a hart inlet with a small turbo escort t/b

What's the part like on the throttle body as that's what I'm having trouble with,I need it to pull from behind the throttle body so need a different part that bolts to the throttle body and can sort out the bracket for the cable at a later date

Mines a custom made bracket that was done for the small turbo t/b by joe is it? That makes the heart inlets. But it’s not very good it puts the cable at a bad angle. Needs a proper one making which it why I’ll not fuck about any more spec-r can do it then I know it’s done properly

Few more photos of my set-up



The cable runs nice and staight onto the throttle body.

I had to put an extra bit of heat protecting tube over the cable as it touches the header tank.
