Firewall Forward Kit

Throttle & Mixture Control Cables ( 4 hrs )

Worked on several tasks related to IP wiring prep for engine sensors.   Also, after discussion with Nick Millard and Josh Swenson at Stein Air,  I ordered "forest of tabs" grounding plate and related materials.  Then completed installation of Mixture Control Cable per Sect 50-03 and Throttle Cable per Sect 50-04, Step 1.  Both based on Sect OP-22 with brackets and bellcrank assembly details.  Lots of work, but very satisfied with smooth operation of controls.  Yay!
Mixture control ...full Lean, against stop.   Oops, seeing
picture I realized forgot yellow torque seal on jam nut (done).

Mixture control ...full Rich, against stop.

Bottom of engine.  Installed bracket holding Throttle cable. 
Second oops...also had to go back to add yellow torque seal 
to cable retention nuts (done)
