Finished installing both rudder cables (except for final tightening/safety wiring. Began by raising the nosewheel off the ground and holding it off the ground with a sawhorse to keep the rudder pedals centered. Next, centered the rudder and held in place with wedges. Followed up by pulling the left and right cables snug through the turnbuckle shackles with thimbles and nicopress collars and set everything in place with cable clamps and tightened the turnbuckles. Tested the rudder movement/deflection using towbar to turn the nosewheel. When everything was working right, I swaged the nicopresses, reconnected the turnbuckles and tightened them. Lastly, I set the tension for overnight to see if there was any stretch the next day.
