Default re-purposing golf cart system

Anyone here have access to the schematics of _any_ golf cart or utility
vehicle using the Curtis/PMC speed controller type #73326G02?

This controller is slightly different than the other Curtis controllers,
including a different polarity drive scheme and use of inductive throttle
position sensor rather than resistive.

I want to build a general-purpose "tug" from parts of an old golf cart, and
cannot find a schematic or app-note specific to that controller. I _think_
the original cart was built in the early 1990s, but can't confirm that,
either. It was an E-Z-Go, but a number of carts have used the Curtis
controllers.

Thanks,

You sure it is "inductive" and not Hall Effect?

Resistive can be 2 wire or 3 wire. Hall effect is always 3 wire.
Hall effect can USUALLY be used in place of 3 wire resistive - and 3
wire resistive can USUALLY be used in place of hall effect.
Generally 5K ohm for resistive throttles.
