    Default Throttle cable

    Trying to rig an o-320 on a 1950 pacer. Anyone have pictures or tips about how they rigged the throttle cable around the controls, where they went through the firewall, AND WHAT SIZE CABLE you used ?

    THANKS

    I would also be interested in the answers to this one as well as the length of an original Tripacer throttle cable.
    I am assuming the throttle cables for a PA-20, PA-22 prior to moving the instrument panel fwd on the later models.

    Do you have the drawing CD from the Short Wing Piper Club? Drawing 12690 shows firewall forward, routing and attachments. McFarland and Univair carry the throttle cable. I am not sure the length. Looks like the throttle and mixture go straight across to the back side of the firewall and out to the front side through a hole above and to the right of the cabin heat box.
