Hello Guideman, 



I have added a throttle linkage from the center console of my MkIII xtra to a left hand assembly.   Both work together.  

I designed the linkage to run under the pilot seat and sent it off to KOLB AIRCRAFT to weld it up for me,  they did a great job. 

I'd recommend you draw up what you want and send it to them. 



Hope that helps

Check out the throttle set up on the Mk3X. It runs under the seats and it should be easy to add a second handle to it.

No pictures, removed it years ago, passengers kept trying to get their seat belts hung up over their throttle, so I removed the potential, but here's the basic principle: you use a pull/pull cable system. Advancing the pilot side throttle pulls the passenger side throttle lever open, while also pulling the carburetor cable slide up,  and when you retard the throttle, it also pulls the passenger side throttle closed and lets the carburetor cable slide down. You do that by making the cable attach points and pivots 180 degrees out at the same pivot and attach lengths for the two different throttle levers. Crude drawing attached, the big loop is the cable inside the secured cable sheaths. You'll get the idea.



You will need cable sheath attach points on your fuselage structure to anchor the cable sheaths into, and also cable adjusters in each half of the loop to get things adjusted. You will want the system to have no slop, yet not bind. It's not hard, but the devil is in the details of trying to get it to work smooth.



I still had the old parts out in the hangar, it is not possible to assemble them to show the system, but here is some of the hardware I used.
