On my 68 this is how the cables go. Lower cable goes to the carbs and is
threaded throught the "accelerator bar" from the rear. The clip goes on this
cable and is pushed on from the rear also. The hand throttle cable goes in
the top notch on the "accelerator bar" and is only held in place by pinching
the sides of the bar together. This allows the bar to slide over the cable
as you use the gas pedal without, as you pointed out, bending the hand
cable.
Hope this helps
