Hi Richard,
I upgraded my throttle cables some long time ago with new Bowden cable sleeves from Aircraft Spruce and piano wire push pull. The piano wire is 0.063" dia. As I remember, I made a tight loop in the piano wire at the throttle end and bonded it to the FL 10 sleeve with Redux or similar. It has worked well and is superior to the factory design.
Cheers, John

Thank you for the replys. There are some good suggestions for the friction within
the throttle box. The pictures are always helpful too thank you

I have been looking in-depth at the solid push/pull piano option, but it seems
to fail in the connection to the the throttle box. There doesnt seem to be an
option for a secure connection eye. One builder suggested just looping the piano
wire around a bolt to make a loop for connection. I would not be happy with
this arrangement. If any one has any more options they may have used I would
be interested in pictures and links.

Many thanks
