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:
