From what you've both said and Mike's pictures I've figured out my problem.
There are at least 2 lengths of teleflex cable on Murphy aircraft.
Both are 4703GG5- numbers, and the next two digits relate to the length.
The Rebel uses a -072 and the Elite uses a -066.
I've been sent a -072 with a sticker on it saying -066 !!
A call to Nancy I think :-)
Thanks again for your help guys

Nigel,
I measured my cable from end to end with out the fork ends as best as I
could in place and I get about 65". Take a look at my website
www.mikeselite.com and there is one picture under assembly that shows the
cable routing above the door. If you need another picture let me know and an
email address.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Teleflex Cable length ?
Hi All
Just starting to do the teleflex cable routing and forward support
plate/clip in 745E, and it seems the cable length is about 6 inches too
long
for a nice direct route.
Clevis pin to clevis pin, with the fork ends both screwed on as far as
they
will go is about 74 inches.
The ideal length for a smooth run from the front and gentle curve down to
the mixer arm would be about 68 inches.
I don't fancy the excess doing a curve in free air across the side window
aft of the door and then back down to the support at the top of the mixer
arm support plate, but not sure how else to do it ?
(The Rebel may be different to the Elite in this area !)
Wonder if the Elite should have a shorter cable, and I've been sent one
from
the Super Rebel or something else ? (the part number on the label is
correct
!)
Also the archives photo's show the teleflex attaching to the mixer arm
just
AFT of the bellcrank, but the Elite manual shows it attaching just forward
of the bellcrank - is this another Rebel difference ?
Anyway, really appreciate a quick check from another Elite builder on the
routing and length of his teleflex cable/clevis fork assembly. (going
electric is NOT an option for me :-)
Thanks
