Ok - I'm going to go for it. Hope to report back with good news soon! I wonder if anyone has considered fitting an air intake shut off valve to protect against diesel engine runaway as part of this delete? The throttle valve being the only barrier between engine and outside air....

Ok here I go - bit scary. Photo shows under the air intake elbow, with two plates. The larger one plate opens with the throttle cable and the smaller plate is moved by the valve at the top of the photo. Questions, questions! a) It seems that taking out the smaller plate is not worth it if...
