Default Throttle/Mixture, etc. Cables

I'm trying to get some things ready on the IP so when my FF kit gets here, I'm a little more ready. Does anyone know what size holes the Throttle and Mixture cable need for mounting to the bracket? Also, the bowden cables for carb and cabin heat?

Thanks

Default Holes sizes

The throttle hole is different than Mixture/Prop... but that might change based on what cables you end up using. My advice is don't cut holes until you can measure directly from the device to be installed.

Default Assumption

Mike,
I guess I made the assumption that the cables from Van's with the FF kit for a FP were always the same. I know what assume means.

I was hoping someone else already had a FF kit they could do a little measuring on or knew from experience.

I really want to powder coat the panel and not have to drill anymore holes and those are the only things I don't have.

Thanks
