He had them in stock. Loren Harmon F1 s/n 76 Can anyone tell me the brand, style, length, and where to buy the three control cables for the motor (throttle, prop, and mixture) ??? The only place I've seen these cables penetrate the firewall is on the left; outboard of the vertical aluminum angle connecting the motor mount brkts just inside of the skin. What is the vertical placement ?? Are there other / better places to penetrate ?? thanks, Larry E.

I think I used a 60", 63" and a 66" Regardless of what everyone else uses, you need to measure for yourself! Your routing might be different than ours. http://www.usi.edu/science/chemistry/vfrazier/Engine%20and%20Prop.htm several decent pictures on here if you haven't browsed this page yet.

Prop is 66" and the others are 60". I also used a couple of the little devices that Spruce sells that extend the cable an inch or two. I modified those to get exactly what I needed on the mixture and the throttle. The prop cable was fitted at it's actual length. One thing to watch (I didn't) is that if you want to route your cowl hinge pins through the firewall, make sure you don't run a cable through a point directly aft of the hinge eyes. I will also email you direct a photo of a bracket for the prop cable that works perfectly and a photo of my cable routing.

I asked the same question on the aeroeletric list this morning and will keep you posted if I find out anything, Chris
