buckrancher 2,694 #84 Posted June 19, 2010 Here's the throttle assembly I made. The lower piece is machined out of a solid block of stainless the lever was cut out of a piece of 14ga stainless and hand shaped I also made a mold and poured a new resin handle on the lever the resin hardens in a off white color kinda like the original I added some detail too the rear hubs before installing the rear wheels :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
