Brief Description:  Sec FF3-3

With the Panel silkscreened and labled, I can complete the installation of all of the control cables from the panel to the engine/firewall. 1st up was the heater cables. I had been dreading this beacuse if the difficulty I had initially with getting the adel clamps doubled with the hose. But the tricks learned wit hthe safety wire made it a much easier/doable item. 1st I had to mount the three cables to the subpanel paying attention to getting the right cable in the right place. then I temporarily remounted part of the instrument panel in order to get the length/distance from it to the firewall accurate. After that I installed Adel clamps on the engine side of the firewall to hold the cable the right distance, and then routed each cable. Measured it and then cut it to full length using the Dremel and then cut the wwrapped wire shield back the appropriate amount. I was worried i'd nick the control wire/cable, but didn't. Got both sides hooked up. I need to order a cable end swivel from ACS to finish the parking brake, So moved on the the engine controls. I had left a firewall passthrough fixture with 3 swivel ball grommets clecoed in place, thinking it would be easier to mount the cables, but I was wrong and after mounting the 3 engine controls to their subpanel, I set the in place in the panel for distance and then prp rivited the fixture in place with RTV spread to seal it. I got the mixture cable eyeball reinstalled before calling it a night.y
