REFLECTOR:Quadrants vs. push-pull controls

[Scott Derrick]

I'd like to install a right seat throttle/mixture control.  I have 
push/pulls on the left which I prefer.

I heard the factory has access to a system that connects the two 
controls up front and there are single lines going back to the engine. 
Anybody seen this?
