I'm no doubt a devout coward, but I always initially cut cables longer 

thanthey could possibly need to be. Without a cable jig, it's almost 

impossible to get them the right length. That way, I don't wind up finddling 

around trying to s-t-r-e-t-c-h that extra inch that isn't there. Mine are cut 

to reach the far side of the cockpit.



I don't doubt that I may wind up buying more cable, but that's cheap compared 

to trying to the frustration of having the cable too short, or having to be 

too ultra precise in my measurements.

F W I W:

In my kit, ser 6-5342, there was more than enough cable to permit the "rough 

cuts" to be long.  I had quite a bit of cable left.

I also had plenty of spare rivets left over.  Zenith did provide enough 

material in the kit.

Maybe ya could use a string first?  A strong string should be able to get you pretty close.
