@mace, I am proceeding with my APPS  relocate.  I have removed all the necessary items.  There is a pin that is pressed into a part of the aluminum bracket that I need to remove so I can use the hole for my custom bracket (not made yet).  Did you remove this pin, and if so, how did you do it?

The pin comes out. I literally put a pair of vice grips on it and it threaded out with a little force.

Thank you, I will give that a try.

I’m not sure how many rotational degrees it is but it worked the same as the old bellcrank setup. I have full throttle 0-100% when I tested it out of the truck.

 

I set up my OEM throttle assembly complete with the throttle cable operational for a bench test.  It turns out that although the OEM APPS shaft rotates 45°, the actual foot throttle rotation is about 20° due to the different lever length combinations along the way.  So, that would be much more in alignment with the replacement bellcrank, which has a 20° sweep.  I was overthinking it, as usual.  I will now proceed with using the replacement bell crank assembly.

I’m glad your into this as much as I was

 

If you make a better bracket let me know I’ll buy one from you.

 I'm watching this  I want to see how this turns out.

 also @Mace and @Tractorman, if one or the other of you guys maybe do an article step by step that would be awesome. (Lots of pics! I'm a visual learner)
