Aux. Control Cable Recommendations?
I'm trying to get purchased some of the miscellaneous control cables for my RV-7A. I have the standard Vans throttle and mixture cables on order, but I am searching for recommendations for the following:
- Cabin heat - Carb heat - Parking brake I've looked at Spruce and Van's and noted a couple of questions: 1) I assume Vans CT A-740 are the same as the spruce A-740? 2) Assuming I am using an O-360, would I want the solid wire end cable or one with a threaded end for the carb heat? I assume the parking brake and cabin heat would be solid end. 3) I would be interested in hearing builder's preferences for "glide free" cables for "detent" cables for each of the three items above. Right now, I am thinking maybe "glide free" for the brake and cabin, then "detent" for the carb heat. Thanks, Scott 7A Finishing |
Not sure if it was in the standard kit or the FWF kit, but I got a few of the black A-740 cables from Vans. Seems like they'll work fine for cabin heat and alternate air.
I followed Dan's lead for the parking cable and got this one from Spruce (I think it's called a T-handle dash control.): ![]() Don't know about the carb heat control, as I have FI. And don't have a preference over detent vs. glide-free yet as I'm still building, but the detent style seem like they'll work fine. Dave |
