I have the same set on mine mate, use your cable, just need a hole for the nib and a cut for the cable at the other end of curve, you'll see what I mean when they turn up

they should work with one cable there's plenty of return spring on butterfly shaft, if modding stuff to put on different carbs they're still the old-clunker round-slide style,with more modern semi-flatslide CV type,  internal components are lighter smaller sleeker detailed more efficient, give smoother fuel-delivery power economy etc..

Good tip  ;D I need to up grade my throttle cable and maybe a new throttle assembly but not like Bryan's quick action:o.Both Bryan and Xtian   run one cable
 I think I have to drill a  hole and fit a tube for Vacuum advance.. ??? i will check the forum for what is required. they don't arrive till mid August then the overhaul may be on for Christmas  :'(

the only thin to consider John, is these use a double accelerator cable, our cables don,t fit fit without some adjust ments to either a new cable or a small fitment hole for nib
