Cable Diameters

[CharlieWaffles]

Does anyone have the measurements of the following items?

1) Diameter of the throttle/prop/mixture cables from Vans (green covered Verner cables)

2) Diameter of the heat selector box cable (silver style cable)

3) Diameter of the Alternate Air cable

Thanks!

2) Diameter of the heat selector box cable (silver style cable)

Van's part number CT A-740 BLACK for the heater is 3/16" diameter.

From a couple years back, but I think it's still accurate: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showpost.php?p=229741&postcount=5

And Bowden cables should be 3/16" or 7/32"; I agree with the above that the ones we get from Van's are 3/16". That should be true for both the heat boxes and alternate air.

Perfect, thanks. I just ordered some steel firewall eyeball gromets with the size info in hand. Thanks as always!
