Touchdown! Greaser!
During a recent inspection I noticed that the throttle on my Flybaby needed to be replaced. It was a very older vernier throttle with various issues. The throttle cable attaches to the carburetor via a solid wire.
The problem is I can't really find a throttle where the threaded shaft is long enough to pass through the panel. The throttle's mounting location goes through part of the fuselage structure so it's "thicker" than most aircraft.
Here is a picture of a replacement throttle I ordered, I really need the threaded portion to be about 2" longer. Anyone have a suggestion as to how I can accomplish that? I thought about cutting threads into the entire shaft with a die but fear the material to be way too thin for that.
