A
 clean, simple throttle stop that holds the throttle lever in the same 
position as stock. I could not use the stock stop, however, because it 
interfered with the coil bracket. Ultimately I will probably modify or 
reposition the coil bracket, the throttle lever strikes it when the 
engine lugs and under extreme acceleration.  | |

The
 throttle cable was originally the cruise control cable from a 
late-model Honda. I believe it was a 4th generation Accord. It is, 
magically, the correct length, has the correct ends and has the clamp 
bolts at the throttle body end in the right place. All I had to do to 
modify it is trim about an inch of sheath off the throttle lever end of 
the cable.  | |

I
 don't love the bracket I made for the throttle lever end of the cable. 
It is the one piece on the car that was designed with a hammer instead 
of a ruler. But, it works and looks okay if you squint at it. The clamp 
is stock Roadster.  | |

Here's a view of how I made the depressed channel in the top of the bracket to hold the cable in place properly.  |
