Although I don’t have my engine yet, I am building baffles,etc. in preparation for it. The baffle plans show bracketry for the prop governor cable coming up from the bottom of the engine. I bought the bracket that bolts to the governor and presumably routes the cable above the engine, which would be a preferred route. I can find no documentation on this routing in the plans or the instruction page that came with the bracket. Nor can I find anything in the forum searches. Does anyone have any info on this subject (links to your website, cable length, etc.)

All the 10s I've seen have it come up from the bottom, but there's no physical reason it couldn't route over the cylinders. Â Lots of other planes do that. Â You'd probably need a custom cable, though.

You would also have a greater need to have a cable with good temperature resistance as a cable on the top would be subjected to significant temperatures in after flight heat soak, more so than under the engine. I'm not sure I see any real advantage to going over the top.

The only ones I see go over the cylinders is when there is an air conditioner installed. I don't know if this causes any problems with heat or not, but it can and has been done. Might try someone who has air conditioning, especially with the Airflow Systems unit, to see how theirs hold up.

I'm actually in process of reinstalling the prop controller cable as a replacement for the original Vans cable in my flying '10 because it needed to be longer. I'd go with the low route unless you have some other consideration.
The Vans bracket and under the engine routing looks good as long as a slightly longer cable (1" longer) is used. I'll have this completed this evening or tomorrow.
The too short cables situation is pretty well documented on this forum. Looks to me that Vans sized them for routing with the original heat shroud design. Add an inch too them and the Vetterman exhaust permits easy, no interference routing.
I ordered replacement Cablecraft cables from California Push-Pull per Dave Saylors recommendation. They were custom fabbed the same day and shipped immediately - about $65/cable. Indistinquishable from Van's cables except I got the high temp black covering. Recommend them highly.
Will post details and pics later.

Not flying yet but I have gone above engine. two reasons, To go with Show Planes cowl this is a requirement because lower install interferes with induction system, My engine block did not have the two threaded bolt pattern the baffle needs to secure right next to the prop cable bracket, therefore I used vans WA-153 bracket and routed above... I believe it is implement in the RV14 also. I also did not install the left inlet ramp heat muf intake. I moved mine to right rear next to the right heat muf intake...This was not my idea but came from here from a guy a whole lot smarter than me
