Hi, Al....very nice looking installation.

Thanks, Paul.

Yup, that’s the = throttle. Same idea, stays there when the panel is removed, and is in just the = right place so while my arm is comfortably resting in my custom strake cutout = (I extended to strake forward to give me elbow room in the door), the = throttle is right where my hand is.
