many years back when I installed a Hemi crate in my 68 R/T, I devised a factory looking bracket and kit to allow use of the existing accel cable and Kickdown linkage. I have 12 brackets and hardware for the kits. The kit will bolt right on to single 4 intake and looks like the factory made it. It can also be used with a manual trans as the pivot point for KD linkage is included. I've been looking for a pic of the kit installed but haven't found it yet frown The threaded rod, couplings and locknuts are used to lengthen the Top and mid KD rods if needed
What are the thoughts on WTW ??? Prefer to sell as a lot but ????
TIA beer

as my old man would say : "a buck 2 ninetyeight"................... boogie biggrin

all kidding and wizea$$ery aside, that looks like a nicely designed and executed kit, based on my extensive fabrication and machining background.
as hemi parts in general are expensive, and throttle cable brackets alone can be between $40-65.00 just for the common wedge blocks [depending on carb application], in just my [probably worthless] opinion, your kit may be realistically worth around $150.00-175.00+ or so.
this depends entirely on A : how much time, effort in design, and expense you have in producing it, and B : how much you need/want to recoup your investment costs, less your time involvement. [one never seems to get back "the time invested element" in anything. or so it seems. laugh2]
just my worthless opinion.
YOUR mileage WILL vary............

That looks nice and clever - I'd prefer that over the Lokar kind of deal, if I had a need for it.
I'd guess around $100-$150 each is fair, and I'd pay that.
I don't know the prices on the Lokar or Bouchillon setups though, so I may be wrong.
I think advertising them would be my 1st choice.
Maybe AndyF can advise, or maybe contact Mancini's and see if they're interested.
But if you just want to be rid of them, maybe try the engine section here or Ebay.

thanks for the compliment 👍🍻 At this point I have about 0 in them. My plans were to offer them up 20 years ago 🙄 and see if there was a market. But running a business, getting cornholed by employees (one was a nephew) and life got in the way. So, I'm trying to clean up things and get back to this being a hobby.

BTW I never received a PM from you on the Shrink tube. If you still need it send me a PM with sizes and quantity

thank you as well 🍻🍻
The Lokar products (which I despise) is exactly why I made the kit. Not even sure if Bouchillon was doing one at the time but I wanted something that looked like the factory had designed it, not stick out like a sore thumb and it belonged there wink
I have one photo of it at a partially installed stage, I'll post in a bit up

no problem. if and when you do have a need let me know. I always bought in bulk as it was much cheaper. Now it's biting me in the backside LOL
