Brief Description:  Made new throttle bracket for Superior Sump

The Vans throttle cable bracket does not sit aft far enough when you redrill and mount it on the Superior Cold Air Induction sump. By my measurements, the mounting hole for the cable needs to be aft by 2 more inches. So, I found some mild steel, drew up a schematic, cut it out on the band saw, drilled the holes, bent the cable bracket to 85 degrees up, bent a middle line down lengthwise 30 degrees. The superior sump mounting holes are two AN4 spaced .875 inches apart on center. Marked that up and drilled the two mounting holes. The top hole is centered .375" from the left edge, and 1.244" from the lower edge. The 2nd hole is .95" in from the left edge and only .585" up from the bottom edge. Just make sure you end up with the centers .875" apart. Radiused the corners so no sharp edges. Primed and painted it. Several trial fits assured me it was correct. Main bracket is 2 5/16" wide and 4 1/4" long plus 1 3/16 for the 1 inch tab and the radius bend. I kept it meaty as it can also double as a heat shield for the exhaust pipes below it.
