Carb Linkages
This is the way I did it. Don't know if it's the best way, or even the "right" way. But the controls are smooth and there is no binding.

Mistakes and Do-Overs
Everybody likes to share their best pictures, but you rarely see their mistakes. Here's something that should be interesting and amusing: mistakes that I made. Anything that we make wrong can be remade or fixed. Maybe somebody will learn from these (I sure did).

BRS
I used European drawings to fabricate this method of installing the BRS. The front mount is used, as I am installing the 650 Canopy, which precludes a rear moutned BRS. There was a successfull BRS deployment in Europe of a front-mounted install similar to this.
