NE1 have a Demon carb?
If anyone has a Demon carb with an O/D tranny, what are you using for a TV cable bracket? I put an O/D in my car this winter, and I'm trying to sort out my stuff now. Any thoughts?

I had had the Holley TV/throttle cable bracket that Jegs sells, and if I recall correctly the demon lacked a spot for a small peg to fit into the base of the carb near the stud like the holley did. All I did was bend that peg up clear on the bracket, and bolted it on just like normal. Worked fine.
Of course, I could not get the demon to idle as smooth as the holley I took off to save my life (darn 4 corner idle). And the freaking choke linkage (625 Road Demon) was bent and would bind right outta the box. Had a plastic guide for the linkage that was hosed, didn't fit right, and the linkage bar itself was bent wrong and kept getting flat out stuck. It has several complex bends in the linkage, so I couldn't seem to get it bent back right, and the piece of plastic was messed up beyond repair anyway which was alot of the problem. I ended up sending it back, didn't feel like working on a brand new, fresh outta the box broken item that I paid good money for... I assume I got a lemon since everyone else seems to like them...

I tried everywhere, noone even makes a TV cable bracket for Demon carbs. I tried the Holley bracket too, but it always wants to swivel if that peg isnt in the base. Lokar doesnt even make a bracket.... it might be fabrication time
