Firewall Pass Through
Hi. I'm considering this for the throttle and mixture cable firewall pass through. Anyone have any experience with these?

Firewall Pass Through
For throttle and mixture I would (and am) using these

The ball allows the cable to find its natural angle. The ones you are considering will not.

The ball on those is aluminum. Do they make a stainless version?

Thanks Dave, after I posted I started to look for myself which is what I should have done in the first place. I?m wondering if the ball will corrode if not stainless. Here in Houston everything rusts in the hangar, even plastic

A fella can weld up a tubular steel pass through for about fifty cents. Point it at any angle you wish.
