I don't have it, but I've seen two versions that had the cable attached via clamps to the oil sump bolts.

On the Avcon the bracket is attached to two of the mounting studs at the base for the governor and another leg going to one of the bolts higher on the governor itself.

The bracket for the throttle attaches to two of the carb bolts for the airbox and another to the sump pretty far aft, maybe the second or third side bolt from the rear.
