Default Throttle linkage with Carrera intake?

The 930 throttle bracket linkage doesn't line up with the Carrera throttle body linkage. What's the best fix for this? Would the Carrera bracket and linkage fit on the 930 engine and line up with the throttle body linkage and the 930 throttle cable?

I should have said that I am using an Accufab throttlebody (by the way, too big for drivability - good fr WOT) that has a slightly different offset. In addition, I took the end pieces off the stock linkage and made my own stuff.

Pretty cool, DonE! With these types of projects - the one that David a.k.a 125shifter has undergone for the last 16 months or so - it's the little things like linkages that can cause big headaches! PITA!

David, what's wrong with cranking the linkage ? (Make a swan)

From what I can tell from the PET, it's the levers on the bracket that are different. The levers aren't too expensive, so I just ordered new ones. Hopefully then the rod off the TB will line up with lever on the bracket. Back to the garage....

No it won't. You will have to switch the ball to the opposite side then adjust the length of the rod. It will still not clear the intake on WOT.
