[Healeys] Throttle? linkage

[Jaap Aeckerlin]

Now that you all are on the subject: Has anyone ever considered to replace
the linkage system with a Bowden cable and if so, are there any pictures
available? I'm getting fed up with the stupid linkage which always tends to
stick somewhere along the full travel of the gas pedal and would like to
change it into a smooth working set-up.
