I also did some painting and moved it to a different part of the house

I put metal on my throttle as well. I cut the metal with a jigsaw. The metal was sheet tin that you would find on a furnace or something. I think it was tin. I got that from my dad as well.

 

I believe this was back last winter. I have been getting a lot of my dimensions from http://www.markuspilot.com/download/BOEING%20737%20MEASUREMENTS.pdf

Very helpful
