| Subject: | Re: control cables |
California push-pull is a Cablecraft assembler. The cables I spec'd
previously were $60 to $70 each 2 years ago. I believe the ones I
ordered are rated to a higher temp than the Vans supplied cables, i.e.
to 350F. The marine cables seem to have more stainless than we probably
need for aircraft.
