Brief Description: Installed Throttle & Choke Cables (1 of 2)
This the first of two entries for today's efforts.
Page 50-02 I ordered the updated center panel for the autopilot/knobs panel and assumed that it would be the "newer style" center panel. Not the case. After routing the throttle cable, found out that the panel hole was too small. Removed the cable and opened hole for throttle to 3/4". Also had to grind a flat on the lock washer. Installed and routed throttle cables. Finally, had to remove some of the panel screws to flex the panel aft enough to tighten the lock nut. (steps 1 and 2) Routed choke cable ensuring the cables were below the throttle cables through the firewall grommet. Tightened lock nut. Re-seated center panel and installed screws(step 2) PAGE 50-02 IS COMPLETE
Page 50-03 Made cable spacers. Verified throttle and choke cable orientation, then secured each with cushion clamp and cable spacers. Already tie-wrapped voltage regulator cables in Section 46. (steps 1 through 6) PAGE 50-03 IS COMPLETE
Page 50-04 Properly oriented cables and secured to engine mount standoff using cushion clamps. (steps 1 and 2). Noticed that firewall grommet is pretty mangled after dragging cables through them. Will need to be addressed. PAGE 50-04 IS COMPLETE
