Dale, my carb heat cable has an OD of 0.19" and the throttle and mixture
cables are 0.27". I have a fixed pitch prop so don't have that cable. I
am waiting for the Spruce feedthroughs. Here are some recent comments on
those feedthroughs from the a post on the Yahoo RV7 list:
a) They have a weird shape (12-sided) that requires two large [crescent]
wrenches to tighten them (at least when tightening the body on the
firewall). Would have been better in my opinion if they were just plain
old
hex shaped. Still easier than other styles, though.
b) They require an odd size...1.15" hole. I guess that's a standard for
3/4" conduit or something. Anyway, I used a 1.125" Greenlee knockout
punch
(also from Spruce:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/knockout2.php) and then
enlarged the hole just a tiny bit with a 1/2" sanding drum on a Dremel
tool.
Or just use the right size punch in the first place... 8
)
c) Aircraft Spruce doesn't *really* stock them. It usually takes a few
weeks to get 'em in.
Other than that, I'm happy with my choice so far.
