Hi Matt,
How's this working out for you in the long-run? Any issues?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
It worked out great! The only issue I had was heat from the engine causing some stickige after about 20 hours or so. I replaced the cable and added two sleeves of the firesleeve from FlyBoy Accessories and after 150 more hours never had a problem. I'm not totally convinced that it was heat that caused the cable to go bad. Could have been just manufactured poorly and started to stick for other reasons.
Here's a link to the firesleeves I used:

Attached are a few pictures of my RV-8 installation with the firesleeves.
