I mentioned a few days back I found a few broken threads on the rudder cables on my Firestar. I have just over 300 hours on the plane. The threads were showing in the area where the cable goes around the pulley under the seat. My first plane was a 1983 Cobra by Advanced Aviation. One time I was inspecting the rudder cables on that and I found threads breaking in the same place. Where they went around a pulley.
I got new cable and hardware so I'm ready to make new cables. The last time it came up I believe it was best to leave a little bit of the cable end sticking out after the 2nd nicopress? Do I remember that correctly?
I hope to have some photo's soon.

Morning Ed:

That's the way I do it.

Here is a diagram off the NICOPRESS web site.

Forgot to mention, get a Go/No Go Gauge to check your Nicopress Sleeve
crimps to insure you have made a good one.
