Hi Tim,
It worked out great! The only issue I had was heat from the engine causing some
stickige after about 20 hours or so. I replaced the cable and added two sleeves
of the firesleeve from FlyBoy Accessories and after 150 more hours never
had a problem. I'm not totally convinced that it was heat that caused the cable
to go bad. Could have been just manufactured poorly and started to stick for
other reasons.
Here's a link to the firesleeves I used:

Attached are a few pictures of my RV-8 installation with the firesleeves.
