Thanks for your help Ken!
I am thinking about Marv's idea as well as building a gear box with a
gear/pinion/idler arrangement so that I can lower the box and move it
forwards. away from some of my panel supports. There is no need to reverse
the throttle as the gear design accounts for that. I am baffled by your
suggestion (too early - let me read it some more later).
In all cases I retain the electronics. In my research, I found a web site
called www.bostongears.com, that has excellent descriptions about gears and
gear design if anyone is interested.

HI Chris, I finally got out to measure the throttle. I'll upload the
drawing I made of the dimensions. If you need anything else let me know.
Also, if you make a pivet arm from the underside of the throttle and
attach it to the arm of the cougar then you can use the same electronics and
the movement will transfer. All you need to do then is remove the grip and
move to the homemade throttle arm. You will also have to turn the cougar
backwards. (forward is back, back is forward) then you move the throttle
arm.
Hope this helps
Ken

Hey Ken Schlote,
I saw the pictures of you leftside_rails.jpg on the members upload and
was
wondering if you could provide 2 dimensions from it?
The first is the diameter of the circular gear at the base of throttle
and
the second is a chord of that circle just above the instrument panel
where
the gear is positioned?
Attached is small photo to help illustrate what I am talking about.
