Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on designing a solution for my lawn mower's chute to prevent grass from blowing into my flower beds and patio. I plan to use a piece of 1/8 steel to cover the chute.

My idea involves using a throttle cable to retract the chute cover and put it back down as needed. However, I'm facing a challenge in figuring out how to pull the chute straight up from a rear position, considering there's a turn involved due to the cover's side location on the machine and the cable's rear placement.

Any suggestions or recommended parts for pulling the flap up efficiently in such a configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
