Dec 17, 2023 3.5 Engine Controls Category: EXP-119
The throttle and mixture firewall pass thru (CT-00102) insert was drilled out slightly to accommodate the plastic wrap around the mixture control. The pass thru is in a difficult to position to reach so I decided to tape the two pieces together to hold it in place while the cover was slid into place. We then fastened the cover plate of the CT-00102 and checked that bad boy off the list. The cowl flap cable was inserted thru the two adel clamps in the cowl flap cable support assembly. We had to stop there due to my friend Dean having to leave for the day. He's been a crucial part of this build especially since my fall last year. Many thanks, again, to him. Next I tightened the controls to the control cable bracket and added the remaining zip ties. Then I made another command decision to abandon the double adel clamps to support the mixture and throttle cables. Instead I used rescue tape to protect the cables and engine mount then secured the cables using zip ties around the rescue tape. No way I could reach in there and mess with adel clamps in that particular location.
