There are two things to consider for that. On my MA-3, there is only one connection point for the mixture, so an intermediate linkage would need to be fabricated. The other consideration is, would the passenger need to adjust mixture? I certainly don't think so. I also did not duplicate the carb heat control on the passenger side. Again, I do not think that it is necessary.
