Looking at them they must be installed from the cabin side. The nut is on the forward side of the bracket they are mounted on in the cabin. So you must have the mounting bracket already drilled, and preped before you can install these cables. You would pass the cable through the mounting hole, route to the firewall, through the firewall on to its final destination. So for example if I want the cables mounted on the F-1003B Inst Panel Lower Flange, I have to drill the holes in it and mount the cables before I can install the cables the rest of the way. Right now I plan on doing like Tim did and mounting them on a bracket installed under the throttle quad. But I still have to make the bracket now if I want to install the heater cables at this time. A possible solution would be to make a bracket and slit it through the holes. Then when I am ready to do the final install, lay the cables in half of the piece, add the top half and then attach the 2 halves with some type of back plate, tighten the nuts and it is done.

I was in the same boat with mine, mine are panel mounted and I had to wait till the panel was in to route them. It was not really a big deal, but I have to tell you that upside dwon under the panel is not real fun but you can do it. Don't forget the cable clamp the holds the cables just before they exit the firewall. Put your Bowden clamps on the heater boxes before you install them. MUCH EASIER. Keep the inner steel cable in the outer when routing them, only pull them back far enough to cut the outer cable...they can be a B*t$h if not inpossible to reinstall without loosening up the clamps, they don't like to slide into the curved sections, the tip digs into the liner. I did mine with the engine hung, oiler cooler on took me an afternoon and I have the battle scars to show it.

The only way I could get it to work is to buy the ears with small holes. They will bolt to the engine the same as the large ears, but their angle matches the engine mount.

Simple enough till I looked at the stem of my tire that points straight at my axel extension at basically 90 degrees to the side of the wheel pant. Rats! Nothing is simple. This valve orientation will require an excessively large door for access. Not practical. I found a 90 degree Schrader valve adapter but I am not sure that is a good solution as it will probably rub on the axel extension and may also be too long.
