Fellow listers,
I'm working on my firewall foreward and since I had already made some decisions before the firewall foreward kit was available, I can't use the stock locations for my throttle and mixture cables. The prop cable went in to the stock location nicely with the one hole eyeball fitting.
There seems to be just a little slack in that cable - just enough to allow flexibility to keep it out of the way.
How much should I have? Upon measuring the cables that I got for the throttle and mixture after putting them in where I could, I have 6" too much throttle cable and 7" too much mixture cable. These are straight shot from the panel/console to the eyeball passthrough the firewall. on the firewall side, I have sufficient 'Lycoming wet dog shake room'. I'm thinking on the aft side of the firewall, I don't need much wiggle room other than to avoid stuff that could get in the way and wear the cable.
Your thoughts please,
Ralph
