Here's a link showing Hamin X engine cables

And here's a thread with many pics of typical controls on the pedestal

If you run your cables like Hamin X you could easily transfer your throttle to the pedestal.
However if you have enough cable you could mount it higher, flatter, and with a spacer keep the orientation so that the lever and trim button stay on the pedestal side of the control. Like this(thanks to Tomfoolery)

It gets annoying when the trim is constantly bumped, and if it's low like mine it's hard to get reverse
Here's a pic that shows how low mine is mounted. The cables wouldn't bend on this angle to stay above like Hamin's so I have to have an extra leaky hole in my cockpit
There's a mod for everything!
As if you didn't have enough to do or think about
