Dec 20, 2021 3.6 Prop governor bracket and cable Category: Firewall Forward
Finished the "front end" fitting of the prop governor cable bracket and cable:

1. Located and clamped the 90-degree cable holder angle to a new location on the bracket that should allow my existing cable be to used without issues.
2. Match-drilled the angle to the bracket.
3. Cut off the excess portion of the bracket.
4. Mounted the bracket to the governor.
5. Attached the rod end bearing to the cable.
6. Made several test-fittings of the cable to adjust the bearing and cable attach screws, in order to get full range of motion of the control arm.
7. I ended up changing how the rod-end attach hardware is used, since there is no way to install an AN3-11A bolt from the back without removing the governor arm. I also didn't like the simple locknut that Vans calls for on this bolt, so I changed it to an AN3-11, a castle nut, and a cotter pin.
