Throttle Cable Bracket

With the dual quad EFI, I wont be using the drive by wire (DBW) solonoid or ECU throttle controls.
I have designed a way to use the DBW, but for engineering approval purposes, its easier to do the cable operation at this time.
After measuring up some commercially available cable brackets, I found a few issues, firstly, they dont line up with the throttle leverage cranks on the throttle body and also interfere with the fuel rail mounts, secondly, the cruise control bracket for holley 4150 carbs doesnt fit the EFI quad cranks.

The quads come with a 1/8" steel insulator that goes between the quad and the manifold.
So I redesigned this spacer to incorporate a throttle cable bracket.

Drawn in sketchup, printed 1:1 to confirm size and fit, exported the unfolded profile to DXF format.
Imported the DXF file into a CAD program and converted all the curved bits to arcs, this is because Sketchup creates curves as lots of small straight vectors which plays havoc with Lasers cutting machines.
The laser needs to move continously in a smooth motion or parent metal starts over heating and melting and the finish becomes poor.

A trip to the Laser man in the morning and picked up in the afternoon, luck of the draw they were cutting 3mm at the time.
The second spacer is for the rear quad to bring up to the same level.

 A trip to HPC and the parts have been black ceramic coated.
