I think you can figure it out from this picture. You only have to drill one hole to install. Not the greatest picture, I know.Not yet.

Nothing too creative, a bike shifter the same place most people put them. The yellow button is a for a motorcycle horn but is wired to O/D.That’s interesting, what do you use to actuate it?
Can you post pics of the install?Having trouble with installation. Teraflex instructions are garbage. Got everything connected but hand throttle isn’t throttling. I tried pulling the wire as tight as I could but still won’t throttle unless I push the lever are the way then it throttles too much. Is there too much slack? It’s so tight that the wire pulls my center console up when the lever is pulled. Is the connection at the other end not good? It’s a loop with the aluminum crimp.
Here you go. Fished wire through boot and center console, up and under through firewall, looped around cable placed in holder, hollow wire holder screwed into bracket next to gas pedal and cruise control, wire looped next to gas pedal connection.Can you post pics of the install?
It’s not long enough. So I ran it from the hollow screw all the back to the lever but it stops under the steering column.For the pic labeled "wire", where is the cable shield? The cable should be in the shield for the entire run from the lever to the throttle cable mount and bare from there to the throttle linkage. It's the shield that gives the cable rigidity.
It will be long enough when you decide you want it to work.It’s not long enough. So I ran it from the hollow screw all the back to the lever but it stops under the steering column.
Is there another closer firewall access I could use? I used the one that is above the clutch pedal.It will be long enough when you decide you want it to work.
If you are talking about a hole with a grommet, then there is one right in front of the shifter to the left of the heater duct. There is also the alternate method that pagrey showed where you don't even go into the engine compartment.Is there another closer firewall access I could use?

No, I backed up what was said about the length of the cable housing needing to go from the thumb lever to the actuation point. If the cable housing is not restrained on both ends, the cable has nothing to react against and you may as well tie a string to the throttle body and pull on it because you are not using a "cable", just a very strong string.Is there another closer firewall access I could use?

Edit: basically you’re saying just keep messing around with it til the length works
Ok got it. The sleeve needs to be from hand throttle to actuation point for it to work properly.No, I backed up what was said about the length of the cable housing needing to go from the thumb lever to the actuation point.

Apparently the cable sleeve has to run from end to end for it to work so I will try to play around with that. If that doesn’t work then I will try your methodIs it possible you are having trouble because you have the extra spring on the throttle body, the one with the grey clip? Do all Jeeps have that? I think it is supposed to make the pedal really stiff so it's easier to control off-road but with the hand throttle you wont need it. Maybe somebody with more experience would know for sure it's not an issue.
Nevermind, looks like you got it.
More helpful is knowing the parts of what we refer to as a cable.Ok
