Does anyone have the part numbers for the proper  length cables from Cablecraft, for knobs, not quadrant. I dont have an engine to  measure, but am installing stuff in the  panel, and would like to get them  coming.

 Thanks

Check out Ivan's post and the entire thread from the archives.  Not 

Cablecraft part numbers, but ACS.  He also gives lengths.

I ordered RV-7 throttle cable from Van's. The remaining two from ACS per Ivan's information. It took 9 weeks to get them, so order early! They cost twice as much. They appear to be a little better quality with a larger hole needed at cockpit bracket than Van's. Won't install them for another two to three months.

For those with quadrants:



Per Dave Saylor:



I replaced the stock cables with 47" for the prop, 51" for mixture and 72"

for the prop. I got the cables from a local cablecraft distributor. Also,

ask for the highest temp rating you can get. The green cables from Vans

aren't the best. A set of replacement cables should be $200 or less.

The vendor is California Push-Pull in Chico, CA. Talk to Frank.



http://www.push-pull.com/



176-VTT-2-51

176-VTT-2-47

176-VTT-2-72



These are for the mixture, throttle and prop respectively.



Ask for Frank if you need a live person. He knows what they're going on.



The cable tags will say "not for use on aircraft", which usually means they know you're using it on an aircraft

Hope this helps!

I was wondering if vans changed cable lengths before my serial number. I had no issues using the supplied cables with my Aerosport lower console and throttle quadrant. Kit number 40936.

Were your lengths the same as the ones I listed from Dave Saylor? 

I've got to order mine, but I'm planning on taking some measurements this weekend.  

I've got the aerosport panel / throttle quadrant too, but my fm-200 is in a non-standard location to accommodate the rod bower ram air mod.  Its horizontal, not vertical. It may need a couple extra inches.

I'll have to look at my part numbers tomorrow and maybe you can cross 

reference them.  It may be easier to route little longer cables than stock 

ones, mine went in easy and I was able to set all my controls to end even at 

the top and bottom while hitting the stops.
