Don't drill.
Just order a new custom cable from Van's. They can have those green cables made in any length you want. If you haven't scratched or marred the original one, I bet Van's will take it back.
Lead time on custom cables is short, like maybe a week or so.

The Van's throttle and mixture cables do not have enough throw for my precision carburetor (Part of Aerosport package). The only option I have left is to drill another hole in the throttle and mixture arms at the carburetor to increase the effectiveness of the throw I do have.
I understand some metal parts are cast and drilling is a no-no. Has anyone been down this road? Your solution?
Thanks,
Vince H.
