Hi Tex
I modified the bracket to give a straight cable line at all positions. The original bracket tended to kink cable to cable end fitting.
Attached a picture (gives idea but not a great picture)

This is kind of a scary question, Tex.
I think most of us just hooked em up. Most of the fuss was in getting the rudder on straight. The cables seemed kind of simple.

It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

Tex:
You probably will need a shorter turnbuckle on one side, (I think it is the right), to get things properly lines up, (pedals to rudder).
They may already shipped a long and short with your kit. If you get to the point with your rudder cables, and your are out of alignment, then this is what you will need to do.

Speaking as one whose rudder cables are lying loose in the fuselage through lack of rudder at one end and pedals at the other this is all more than a little interesting.
First off, a question for Tex. What lead you to make the enquiry in the first place? Was it problems with getting straight leads on the cables?
Secondly to Bruce. Did you build the original system and find it did not give a straight lead? If that's the case then it is a change that needs to be made. If the system is tending to change the direction of the cable as it exits the rolled swage then the cable is going to break.
Thirdly to Jim. Now, it's late here and my brain has had a hard day but I can't see what the length of the turnbuckles has to do with the lead of the cables from the rudder. Can you elaborate?
