i have some questions regarding control cables....
Push/pulls used on the heater bypasses
Now for the engine control cables. These will be custom ordered because on top of using the Aerosport center quadrant bit, and a forward facing fuel servo, I also have an AC compressor so have to route the prop cable over the engine.
Thanks!

- Do I need to use any fasteners like Adel clips prior to the firewall? They are fairly rigid so I’m assuming just loop it a bit to clear the rudder pedals and then run it through the fire wall.
- Once fwf I understand getting them tight, trimming sleeve and then trimming the end... but what I don’t get is the use of safety wire. Do I just loop it around with the idea that it keeps it from slipping and in turn the open close function?

- For measuring I plan on running weed eater line as I would the control cable. Is the idea to have the controls match the poisition of the engine component. For example the prop gov resting positions seems to be feathered or ‘pulled out’. So would I measure end to end and in turn assuming I have a 2 inch throw on the cable it would work as it supposed to.
- Given that I’m running the prop cable over the engine, what is a good fire sleeve / heat protector for this? Do I need it on the throttle or mixture lines?
Thanks!
