After a search of the cabin side engine control/throttle bracket I keep turning up FWF brackets. There was a company called experimental air that sold a nice bracket shown here.

Is there a vendor out there that still sells these?

Thanks all

I just bent up my own out of .063. Installed with four #8 screws and nutplates.
If you don’t have a sheet metal brake, and know how to use it for the required bend radius, sandwich the sheet between a couple blocks of wood and hammer away.
Super easy part to make if you can’t find a vendor still making them.
