Unanswered: Weber 32/36 DGAV Manta throttle cable

Hi guys.
I hope you can help me with this.
I installed a Weber 32/36 DGAV on my Manta 1.9S, but now I dont have any ideas about how to connect the throtle cable to it.
Can you help me with this?

Thank you from Portugal.

i think the end off the solex will fit onto the weber to make the same connection as you had before , maybe reversed position on the same spindle but the threads are the same i think

still the same threads as far as i know
does the primary throttle spindle turn the same way on the zenith as the weber ? if so just use its connection system to join the two
if it turns the other way the i think the last link in the manta's system can be turned 180* to link it

its mainly the nut with the ball end you need i.i.r.c.

i see your car pictures including the engine and carburetor. I think you can change the linkage to having a direct cable going to the carburetor. We have a linkage kit if you need it.

this is his picture
