Brief Description:  Fuel Line and Control Cable Routings...

Had to relocate the DG clamp for the fuel line from the pump to the server mounted on the engine mount from below the fuel line clamp, to above the fuel line clamp to create clearance for the mixture control cable... the control cable really wanted to go where the clamp was previously placed.

Gained some fuel line to exhaust support clearance - so good thing to do anyway.

Cut the holes in the left gear leg tower, 3 holes on the forward side, and one triangle shaped hole in the aft side, for the control cable pass-thru. Used a #30 to set the locations, then unibit to complete the forward side holes. Did the same for the aft, however, also use a small cutoff wheel on the Dremel to "connect" the holes created with the unibit, and then used the Dremel with a sanding drum to smooth the edges. Place snap bushings in the forward holes, I am not too worried about the aft triangle hole since the throttle quadrant console has the bracket to secure the control cables.
