Boeing throttle quad rigging

[727Steve]

Hello, my name is Steve and I’m in the midst of a 727 build looking for advice on mechanical connection of pots to real throttle quad
(Boeing). Basically, I’m trying to reduce the cable travel to be more compatible with pot range and maintain linear movement. At this point, I have cut cables tailed out about 6 inches below the base.
This throttle quad does not have the friction adjustment, so I’m also looking for a way to better control the friction.

Thanks
Steve
