You will need a RHD cable, and the cable will run from the firewall across the top of the cam boxes to a bracket (varies depending on what kind of carby/ies you are running). Shouldn't be difficult as long as you can procure/make the brackets. This was the arrangement used on RHD coupes. I don't have any photos at present but will hopefully be replacing the clutch cable on one of my Coupes this weekend so will take photos if I remember.

G'day Charles, I posted a pic of SPYDUH's twin carb setup in the other thread on 'Engines', but here's a shot of her before she went with twins. The green cable is the throttle cable.

Here's a different twin carb set up that I use on the coupe, it's a simple home-made bracket attached to the cam box to hold the end of the cable. I hope this helps you out.
