Just a thought where the rad hose rests on the sharp metal edge of the cut mesh.

Yes good suggestion.
I currently have rubber under the hose but also have some rubber door edge molding I please to add where the metal is cut.
This will be done soon prior to the car moving.

Completed new throttle linkage setup.

Started by rebuilding the broken linkage with new helm joint.
They came very stiff, so I little tap with the hammer and socket loosened them up to swivel freely:


Due to the valley cover, I needed to raise it, so I used new stainless bolts, washers and chrome tubing as spacers to get the clearance I needed.
To avoid linkage binding I reversed the mounting points from above to below to keep the joints horizontal:


Finished it off with rubber caps on top. The throttle stops snap back even when only one side is connected so I have good throttle response and consistent idle control:
