    The one on my T is a Lokar and luckily I had enough room for a nice curve in it, but when we installed the Lokar one on my Son's T he has 2 fours, so the rear carb is pretty much right at the firewall. It created a steep bend in the cable. We couldn't figure out another way to do it, so we went with it bent that way, and it actually seems to work pretty well.

    I don't know how it will accelerate the wear inside the cable being bent that much, but I just wanted to let you know they will work on weird angles. I don't have any pictures showing the one in Don's T, but here is one of my T. As you can see, mine is only about 7 inches long and now that I look at it, the bend is fairly severe.
