Started Installing Control Cables

I started wrapping up the control cable installation tonight.  First up is the cable supports on the subpanel.  Attaching these stiffened up the control bracket quite a bit, but there’s still a bit of flex.  I may add a stiffener between the control bracket and the subpanel.

This is the forward end of the control cable.  I replaced the undrilled bolt with all metal lock nut that is specified in the plans with a drilled bolt, castellated nut, and cotter pin.  I’m doing that on all bolts used in the engine control cables.

Here’s the forward end of the throttle cable.  All adjustment nuts have been torqued and sealed.

Here’s the firewall penetration for the throttle cable.  This is installed for good.

Here’s the finished attach end of the mixture control cable.  All linkages have been adjusted and cotter-pinned.

I had to adjust the bracket attach on the control cable to the far forward end of the threads.

The mixture cable firewall penetration on the left is done.  The prop governor penetration on the right is still loose until I get everything adjusted.
