ball and socket throttle connection

the cotter pin is just holding the accelerator pump rod. the throttle lever bracket won't rotate unless i pull the throttle blades too. The throttle lever bracket is not removable from the throttle shaft. I will have to rivet on another piece of metal for the kickdown arm. I could try and make the metal piece taller to also incorporate the throttle cable connection too if needed.
Ok, cool Man! Looks like you're cooking with Crisco outside the box already! And that, Brother Beard, is a good thing! I wasn't trying to lead you the wrong way, I was just looking at it from what it looked like in the picture ( ask my Ex Bout that) lol , sorry for the cheep humor! Now where did my Lil (cheep, cheep) fuzzys go? And that concludes Irons stand-up comedian act for the night... PS, if you found that out of context, or in TOO CHEAP, humor I'll delete it as fast as you tell me to!
