I received the custom length control cable from ACS yesterday. And installed it today. I used the one remaining firewall eyeball |
|
fitting I had. I fabbed a mounting bracket out of .062: and mounted it using two of the upper engine case bolts. before mounting it |
|
I riveted a piece o .062 that I bent 90 deg. to use as a tab to attach the adel clamp. Aligned everything and attached the cable to |
|
the fuel purge valve using a Heim rod end and an AN3 bolt and washers. Then torqued the engine bolts (120 in lbs) with the |
|
mounting plate attached. Attached a DG6 clamp to the tab/flange and tightened everything up. It's all aligned very well. I needed |
|
to secure the 'bend' in the control cable. Used a DG12 attached to a pushrod tube, coupled with a DG4 to secure one end of it |
|
and the other end got a DG2 attached to the fuel injector line on cyl #6 , coupled a DG4 to that. This prevents the cable from |
|
vibrating and wearing on the fuel line. I sanded and repainted the glareshield as it received some overspray from the cabin cover |
|
primer. Then I enlarged the pilot side of the slot for the cabin brace to allow for coax for XM and GPS antennas. I'm burying the |
|
coax in the cabin brace. I smoothed the edges with a file and emery cloth threaded 2 lengths of coax through the cabin brace, |
|
drilled and mounted two snap bushings in the overhead console to insert the coax for the antennas installed the cabin brace into |
|
the glareshield and the cabin cover. |
