REFLECTOR: Dual Throttle Quadrant Part 4

Sorry for so many emails. I am lousy at descriptions and I do much 
better with pictures.

The next direction is I took three pieces of steel tubing from Aircraft 
Spruce and put one inside the other. Then I braised on steel tabs and 
used a bolt on each side braised to a flat plate for a bearing to pivot 
on. For my linkages, I took flat steel rods which I cut and drilled 6 
exact duplicates which I attached with clevis pins to the throttle 
quadrants and tabs on the steel tubes. Then I took the reversing 
throttle quadrant on the co-pilot's side and modified it so it would be 
non reversing, which is needed with this new idea I am trying.

I attached a picture of what I hope will be the solution for dual 
quadrants. I was wondering if anyone has been down the current road I am 
headed and has any pointers.

This is turning into a _*HUGE*_ time sink. Almost makes me wish my wife 
were not a pilot too, which would have negated the need for dual throttles.
