My Throttle and mixture cables need to be 160 inches long (standard measuring 
technique). 
Since my setup has the throttle & mixture control brackets on the top of the 
engine, I would guess that this length is quite a bit more than a "normal" 
setup. 

I plan on routing the cables down the left tunnel, and exiting a little in 
front of the gear bulkhead. I'll make the positioning bends behind the false 
wall in the back, and the cables will come through the firewall right where they 
need to be. I mocked this up with fence wire and the bends all seem tame and 
within specs for the cables. 

Any words of wisdom? 

Thanks,  Kurt Winker
