Can anyone suggest a good arrangement for clamping the throttle cable which does not require using the manifold studs?
Tom,

I have a V-drive too, and an MMI manifold. My throttle mounting is very non-standard. The MMI manifold has exhaust ports on both ends, so the didn't have to manufacture two different parts 9left-handed and right-handed). The unused port gets capped off with a plate and two bolts.

My throttle clamp mount consists of a piece of aluminum angle iron drilled and bolted with one of the plate's cap screws. It works, but has a little bit of flex in it. They should have used steel or thicker aluminum.

I dont have a picture of of the full mount, but I found one that shows the manifold end.
