October 1, 2008 - Control Cable Hookup

It's time to hook up the control cables for good.  Van's drawings are very good on this, along with the control cable hookup hardware packets.  Each control cable comes with a little hardware packet like this one.

 

First I screwed the eyeball pass-throughs back in.

 
Then I installed the control cable hardware in the proper order.  The drawings call for a definite order for the various components:  bolt, washers, spacers and nut.  I also fiddled with the control knobs and cable nuts to make sure the control arm had the required play.
 
The bracket for the throttle and mixture cables. 
 
I finished the throttle, mixture and prop control cables.
