February 2, 2008 - Control Cables/Cowl Strips |
||||||
I thought I had finished with the control cables and firewall eyeballs, but then I realized I had forgotten about this little cover plate. The cables need to go through the cover plate before they go through the firewall. So I had to pull everything apart. Then I realized the holes for the throttle and mixture cables were not big enough for the cables with the snap bushings install. So I had to drill them out to 5/8". I ran the cables through the cover, then through the firewall, then reinstalled the three eyeballs. |

All done. Again. |

I cut two more 2" wide strips out of my .050 stock. These are for the cowl support strips -- the horizontal ones that will hold the top and bottom cowl pieces together. | ||||||
I had to use the old hack saw to cut the horizontal strips down to 31". | ||||||
