My experience with the Vans supplied cables. I live in a hot part of the world and the Vans supplied cables last about 400-500 hours before stiffening and becoming unmovable. The internal cores melt after shutdown as temperatures in the cowl rise. I have purchased and will install the Teflon cables (600F) from ACS next annual. In the meantime at about 450 hours I first replaced all vans cables. BTW give yourselves some flexibility in routing: order lengths of 51(T), 52(M), and 72(P) inches for the cables. At 930 hours I replaced the throttle cable again; the short supplied cable and the standoff don’t move the throttle cable far enough from the oil sump even though I fire sleeved the cable. Currently the mixture cable is within a year of replacement and the prop cable still functions normally. The problem is that the supplied non aviation cables (tractor or marine) are made of different materials and are not rated for the higher temperatures found in an aircraft engine cowl that has just been flown and then shutdown.

David,

Are you using a quadrant or venier? Just asking for regarding the length. Do you have the ACS number by chance. 

Thanks 

Michael
