Anyone done a Exploder TB swap on their '94-'95?

I am currently in the middle of swapping an Explorer 65mm TB onto my '94 GT. Everything was going fine until I got to putting on the throttle cable bracket. It is completely different than the Explorer.
Has anyone done this swap on their SN95? If so how did you adapt the cable bracket?

I have seen the TMoss write-up on how to do the swap but it is for FOX bodies not SN95's. So no need to post those instructions.

How did you get it to bolt up? Did you go with a 93 down set up? If so I can tell you how.

Nope, I'm still using the stock SN throttle body setup. That's why this got confusing.

The TPS and IAC for the SN fit perfectly on the Exploder TB so i didn't have to do anything there. But the throttle cable bracket is completely different than the Exploder and FOX. So we modified my stock throttle cable bracket and we're going to install it tonight hopefully. I will let everyone know how it works out.

This is a VERY important FYI-
DO NOT attempt to adapt an Explorer TB onto the SN95 throttle body setup! It will not fit.

The only problem is that the IAC mounts on the under side of the Explorer TB, and the IAC hits the valve cover before you get the TB onto the elbow. It doesn't even come close.

So unless you go with a FOX TB setup first, it will not work!
