Throttle bracket a trans part? It is today!!

I have had issues with the cheesy Chinese virus Lokar brackets before. So much so that I quit using Lokar products and went back to factory style linkage and fabbed parts that wouldn't work.
While there are those that have success with the Lokar cables, I also haven’t on two different vehicles. Too stiff a throttle with the kickdown cable. I’d do everything possible to retain the factory rods and brackets if you got them, and modify the mounting as needed when changing intakes etc
