throttle cable
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:36 pm
Hi
I don't have a throttle cable to play with but I am wondering if it is
practical to bend one 180 degrees with about a 7"radius (14"diameter). I
discounted this idea originally but got to thinking that some
installations probably have two 90 degree bends and this would be about
the same thing. This is for a Subaru with the butterfly located close to
the top center of the firewall which makes routing somewhat problematic
but straight through the firewall and a 180 back is one possibility.
Since the price is about the same, I was also wondering if a vernier
control is a good idea or if I should stick to a friction lock control.
thanks and Merry Christmas
Ken
PS. Wayne - if you can mount that bulkhead in the tailcone with clecos,
you could then perhaps remove it through the fuselage to install the
3/16" rivets before any of the other rivets.
