Hey Byron,  

  

 It took a few days for me to hear from Van's regarding the bent nose gear I have.  Good news....they are sending a replacement and I don't even have to send the original back.  

  

 Please let us know what you figure out on the cables.  I too am interested in the canted panel.

  

 Thanks everyone for your responses.

I believe I can better the cost on your cables and have them made to exact length.  Contact me offline as I have a connection with the firm that builds them for VANS.  I am still reeling from an awesome Garmin presentation on the G900 that Paul Grimstad and I sat through earlier today.

Byron, I went through the same thing on my 7 and would just  throw this out to think about.  If you are using the Vans brackets, you  also have to make sure the throw and threaded part are in the same place.   I found the exact look alike cables at ACS but the throws were different and  they had to go back because there was not enough adjustment to work with the  Vans bracket.  Eventually , I decided that there was not enough bind to  make a difference.

Hi Bill:  

   

Thanks for the advice. Do you recall what the throw of your cables were? The ACS advertises “Travel: 3-3/8" and I measured less than 3” off of my Van’s cables so I wasn’t concerned. I am currently checking with John for his contact for custom cable length. The second option would be to belly up to the bar and go for the throttle quadrant. Would still be about $300 after the credit from the cables I have + still have the right size holes in a nice new panel. The last choice at present would be the ACS cables but would definitely check the travel before going there.  

   

Thanks again,  

Byron

John,



  Can you or Paul tell us more about the Garmin 900 presentation?  What did you like or dislike?
