This worked for me. I kinda like the tee handle but thought the pinch friction block would be less than adequate. I used a compression union for 3/8 aluminum air conditioning line (the union is steel) tossed the

ferules, welded a washer on one end of the body close to the hex part stuck it through the hole in the dash put another washer on the back then the nut.

On the throttle rod ( I used 1/4 stainless) goes the

other nut, a 5/16 brass ferule then a slightly

modified 1/4 in collet from a roto zip. This then went

through the stuff on

the dash and tightened down. The tightness of the nut

against the collet gives variable friction.

Works great, fingertip control from locked solid to

easy rod movement <1/4 turn, the only trouble I had

was that the rod came out of the dash panel at an

angle other than 90 deg and I had to machine a wedge

type washer from aluminum bar stock to compensate for

that angle. Grand total? less the 25 bucks, 1 day

thinking, 4 hours doing.

Sears sells the collets, Everco makes the unions.
