| Subject: | Throttle, Prop, and Mixture cable slack |
--> RV6-List message posted by: "Ralph E. Capen" <recapen@earthlink.net>
Fellow listers,
I'm working on my firewall foreward and since I had already made some decisions
before the firewall foreward kit was available, I can't use the stock locations
for my throttle and mixture cables. The prop cable went in to the stock location
nicely with the one hole eyeball fitting.
There seems to be just a little slack in that cable - just enough to allow flexibility
to keep it out of the way.
How much should I have? Upon measuring the cables that I got for the throttle
and mixture after putting them in where I could, I have 6" too much throttle cable
and 7" too much mixture cable. These are straight shot from the panel/console
to the eyeball passthrough the firewall. on the firewall side, I have sufficient
'Lycoming wet dog shake room'. I'm thinking on the aft side of the
firewall, I don't need much wiggle room other than to avoid stuff that could get
in the way and wear the cable.
Your thoughts please,
Ralph
