Default Question on 4-Stroke Thottle Linkage

Got another one for ya... I am mounting a Saito 100 to my Venture 60, looking at the plane from the front it is on the right side. Now, I put a guide tube to exit the firewall and it is a direct shot to the throttle, BUT (you knew it was coming), I have very little clearance on the right side and I don't have enough room front-to-back to mount a clevis to the flexible cable. when I stroke the throttle, it hits the firewall. I was thinking of using one of those "clamps" to screw down onto the flexible cable, but I used one of these on my US 60 (with a siato 100) and found it to not be very exact, there is too much play in the "clamp" and throttle response differs from time to time because of this..

Any ideas on a way to connect the throttle to the servo that is small, uses little space front to back and on the right side?
