I have known of a few cable failures over the years and would like to have a back up. Has anyone on the list engineered a solution? No sence reinventing the wheel if it has already been done.

You will be creating a new headache for your self. Keep the cable lubricated. Replace the cable if you feel it needs to be.

Just keep an eye on the cable and its feel. I've owned my CJ-6 over 21 years. I replaced the factory 1969 cable a couple of years, after I bought it. I replaced the handle at the same time, with one made by Bill Blackwell out in AZ. Both have been in the airplane some 18 years or so with just minor adjustment now and then. And I fly my airplane a lot +/- 100 hrs/yr. The cable is the lest likely to fail. More likely the rubber in the de booster (QS-1) or diverter (QS-2) will start leaking. Then you will find the brake pads will ware. That is where most of your problem will come from. Jim "Pappy" Goolsby In a message dated 3/19/2016 11:41:40 A.M.
