Back to work after 3 week vacation and 1 week of being sick as a dog. Installed replacement throttle cable. Original cable supplied with kit was too long. It required a large bend between the instrument panel and the firewall to come close to fitting. This put a substantial bind in the cable and undo pressure on the instrument panel mount location. I ordered a new cable from MacFarlane that is 2.25" shorter. This cable fits perfectly with no bending required to make it fit.
Secured eyeball firewall pass-through with loctite. Still need to drill second #11 hole in mount bracket on throttle body.
