Send it! I'm not looking to replicate it so much as designing around it. I want to make sure that whatever I come up with doesn't interfere with pretty much anyone's sliders.
But before you send it, please post photos!! I am planning to fab a mount this weekend and would love to see what they had in mind.
 
While I am waiting for my non-PAIR/1995-1997 hard pipe to arrive (replacing the pipes and hoses that are somewhat in the way of the York bracket on a 1994), I am knocking out some other parts of the OBA project. Today's project: Hand throttle (Toro part #102119). Besides trimming the cable and housing to fit this application, I had to drill a hole in the pedal bracket and add a little brass cable-stop. And voila!

Any reason you didn't use the factory hand throttle? Is this better/cheaper?

I doubt it is better. I seem to recall when I asked about the genuine Toyota part it was NLA? This one was only $8 on Amazon though. A couple bucks more for a set of cable stops I guess.

I got the OEM one from cruiserparts last year. It messed my idle all up and cancelled my cruise control. I need to try it again and hopefully I can get it adjusted properly
 
Messed up cruise? I'm not sure I follow. Does your cable go to the throttle body or the pedal? My cable pulls on the pedal shaft at the top (i.e. above the pivot) rather than my foot pushing it from below the pivot. I am not sure how that could interfere with the cruise function?

My idle would go all the way up to 2500 rpm without even using it and I'd have to pull it back with my foot all the time to bring it down. It idled all over and cc didn't work at all because of it I guess. Unhooked it and everything worked fine after that

Will do once I'm back home this weekend. But first, I need to figure out where I stored it these past eight years or so........

Hmm, this is a pretty important part of the York system. Maybe I should hunt some down to stock. I'm also wondering if this could be repurposed for use under the hood.

Likely because it was adjusted incorrectly. I would always see people pull on the cable to adjust the RPMs. That's incorrect. You press on the throttle to get it where you want it THEN turn the knob to lock it at that RPM. Turn the knob back to release the pedal.

Mine was doing that without even touching the knob. I'm sure it was in the adjustment though. I just unhooked it until I have time to mess with it. I also did my due diligence and read about the do's and dont's before I used it ;). I don't do anything to my Cruiser without reading mud first! My throttle cable is pretty crappy too, so that could've been part of it. Hopefully I get it figured out because it's pretty useful for winching and oba setups.

I have the Slee side step sliders if you need any rough measurements :cheers:. A side or behind the bumper air tank are my current plans.
 
I'm going to need at least some general idea of whattheheck you are looking for here....:flipoff2: Driver's side outside the frame rail - just general location/space taken up?

If you can start with some pics of the area that would help.
 
here ya go... Driver's side, from front toward rear.

Frame with front control arm and front most support leg on the right (small amount of space here):

Between first and second support legs (really the only real estate to work with):

Between second and thrid support legs (no space here):

Third (and last) support leg on the left side, just in front of the rear arm (bit of space here):

Last shots, looking up into the available space.

From front toward rear, first support arm at bottom of picture:

Looking up between the first and second support legs front toward rear, first leg at top of picture:
