So I was faced with a problem on how to route the throttle cable for the Weber DCOE and the bottom pull linkage. Relying on my 24 years of bicycle mechanic experience, I remembered an item called a "Rollamajig". It made the routing of the cable kinda clean.
And please ignore how pathetic my engine bay looks! Darn flash made the thing look horrible! But then again, I guess it is!
Anyhow, bicycles rock!

When connecting the throttle cable on my A-series engined, Weber carbed Lotus eleven replica, I used a similar bicycle part called a noodle. This does the same thing only without the little wheel inside, it is essentially just a curved tube. I would have used the rollamajig, but the local shop didn't have any.
 
Engine bay looks fine compared to most, Bugedd, and that rig looks like it could have a lot of potential in many applications. Thanks!

Kurt.
 
I was going to use the noodles, but I wanted as little drag as possible, and I had a couple in my tool box from the old days. I might try the noodles if they plastic doesn't hold up to the heat.
