1967 Velocette Scrambler Project Continued

Trying to fight off the winter blahs I got back into the Scrambler's reassembly.  With a bit of motivation and positive forward progress maybe we'll hear it this spring. All of the major bits have been serviced (Forks, Engine, gearbox, magneto). So it should be a simple put together?

 While getting back into the dry build, one chore will be making new cables for all of the controls. It was apparent pretty quickly upon mounting the carb that the routing for the throttle and choke cable

have an issue.  The previous carb was a concentric with no choke and the original was a 10TT9. The Monobloc seemed to be a good compromise between the two, other than the routing of the cables.

However both the cruxiform rubber support block and the rear tank tabs interfere with giving the cables a clear shot out of the carb; the choke having the worst of it.  The initial thought is to modify a new support block and dremel off a corner of the tank support.  Hmm, we'll see how it goes.  What would you do?
