Control cable links
For lack of something better to do, I messed around with the control cable linkages. Whoever put the throttle/mixture cable kit together at Vans was asleep on the job. The plans call for different hardware than what is included in the kit. I ended up ordering some extra large area washers. They arrived a while ago, but I hadn’t installed them yet. I looked over the prop, throttle, and mixture links and installed the proper washers. I tightened down the nuts and added cotters pins. On second thought, I’ll probably have to remove the pins. I’ll need to be able to install the link onto the end of the control cable. These pictures are prop, mixture, and throttle, in that order.
I also messed around with some possible configurations of the breather tube. With the oil filter adapter in the way, I can’t install the breather tube per the plans. I’ll have to develop a different routing.
I have several tasks that are waiting on various parts. I’ll place some orders so I can move forward on the rest of the engine stuff.
