my experience with a bunch of lokar setups has not had one installation that was worth a hoot. i got the privilege [?] of TRYING to make them work. the bracketry is very weak and bends easily after installation, and the CORRECT adjustment is impossible to get right without re doing levers, brackets, etc. then the terminating end is not very stout either. the cables stretch without effort to boot. just stay away from 'em !

Any other suppliers?

i don't have any complaints with the lokar on my truck
i put a qft baseplate on my carb so maybe the lokar works better with that throttle lever than some others...idk
