Managed to sort out the throttle. Crank Bros Highline dropper post remotes have a lot of cable pull I found when doing some digging. It can also be RH mounted under the bar, where as most dropper remotes can only go underneath on the left, so thought I'd try it out. It works perfectly! I stuck a big O-ring around it to give it some extra return spring, I would want the throttle sticking open. The throw is about right and the lever sits comfortably under the thumb.
Also got the Maguras fully dialed in now, but setting then up was a bit of a ballache. Re-bled both and fitted new green frog pads. They are really bloody good still, not quite as powerful as my discs on the trail bike, but close. More than adequate to bring it under control now though so all good. I think this project is about there tbh, roll on the good weather so I can go and play on some dry trails!
