Brief Description:  Engine Control Cables 1

-Started last session working on the mixture cable. This one was especially problematic given I have a B&C starter so the mixture arm on the bendix throttle body hits the starter when rigged per the plans. I contacted Don Riveria at Airflow Performance and he sold me an arm that is more offset to clear the starter motor - just barely.
-I installed the mixture cable and ran it to the quadrant along with the throttle and prop. I had to dissemble the console to get the cables loosely attached to the cockpit cable support bracket - it's tight. I didn't realize I needed special clevis ends so I have to order those this weekend. Everything is loosely fit for not until I get those clevis'
I'm pretty happy with the length - thanks VAF, esp Steve! and the routing looks good thus far.
