Brief Description: Fabricate Throttle Quadrant Cable Mount
1336 - 1642
Fabricate cable mount for throttle quadrant.
As was previously detailed, the cable mount for the quadrant was not included with the quadrant. I have not had any luck contacting DJM to get one so I fabricated one.
I used 080 2024T3 sheet and 2024T3 angles to make a channel using standard techniques. The problem was the close proximity of the cables, the size of the cable nuts, and the location of the rivets used to secure the angles to the 080 sheet. I ended up separating the cable holes by 7/8" center to center. This provided adequate clearance on the cable nuts and only caused 1/16" displacement to each cable. Given that the cable end can move up to about 8 degrees, this displacement will be negligible in the operation of the controls.
