2.0TD into 1987 VW Quantum Syncro Wagon

I dont mind removing a throttle spool unit from a d24t to take pictures for you if that helps.
Here's a few from some d24 nonturbo engines, the one with the smallest top is a very early version; the other too are nearly identical to each other, only slightly different. LMK if you need measurements.

Some more d24 throttle spool picts

These photos should help clarify the different accelerator cable clocking orientations:

First one is a D24T/M46 in a 740, no cruise control, no auto kickdown cable.

You can see the accel cable enters at approx. 2 o'clock position (when viewed from the front). Seems like this could work for you?

Second one (shown placed alongside, in approximately correct orientation) with auto kickdown, and cruise control. Guessing from a D24T 740 w/AT and CC.

Here the accel cable enters at roughly 6 o'clock position (when viewed from the front), must be similar to what you are dealing with?

Thank you for the photo's. I did look at my friends 740 (mine soon) which is the same as the D24T/M46 photo you sent. See my replie the the post above this for what I ended up doing; photo's to come this weekend.

Nice pictures showing the differences in versions. Thanks for the effort. The way the stock cable comes through the firewall at an angle, to get around the brake booster, it was nearly impossible to route the cable far enough to the passenger side to connect to the IP.

I haven't been getting notices on thread replies so am a little tardy in replying.

I found a LONG throttle cable from an early 1990's Datsun or Nissan which worked after hours of fitting, modifying and making brackets. It loops almost to the grille then back to the IP. I'll get a photo this weekend.
