Hole Size For Control Cables

STEVEM

Can anyone provide the hole size for mounting Van's control cables in the instrument panel ?
I need the hole size for the throttle/prop/mixture cables and also the push-pull cable (A-740). I will be using the cables that are provided in Van's firewall forward kit.

Thanks for the help.
 
Control Cable Hole size.

Steve,

Per DWG 24 View B-B (The -9 should be the same as the -7), the holes in the Engine Control bracket are 3/4" TYP, but I would measure them first with a Caliper before proceeding.

Steve,

The PROP, MIXTURE are 3/4" but the Throttle IS SMALLER (well it was in my Vans FWF kit). I will post the size when I get home if somebosy else has not already.

I would wait until you have the controls, as you may wish to alter the position. The plans suggest (from memory) 2" between throttle and prop, but 3" between Prop and Mixture. The plans suggest you may wish to change the position.
