I never tried tabs but I guess they would work fine as long as you run a file around the inside of the hole to smooth the sharp edges. I always used the eyelets you bolt in since they have no sharp edges.
You can bolt them in but I like to weld them to keep em in place. I usually run wire rope from Lowes since its cheap. Most Lowes sell a ferrule that you loop the cable & slide both ends through & crimp it which is perfect for the throttle pedal end.
Total cost including eyelets is about 10 bucks. I usually run 1/16th which is overkill but lasts forever. Make up a second cable & keep it in your tool box. Youll never need it but its cheap insurance. Use a length of 3/8" brake tubing to pass the cable through your fan shroud. usually 4 inches is plenty. Just remember to avoid sharp edges so the cable doesnt wear on it.
Stand alone gas pedals are fine. I used several stock pedal assemblies for years with a roller pedal. My 4 seater has a Neal set with a roller pedal & my new buggy is going to have a stand alone pedal. They all work well.
