Routing of Mixture Cable

Postby falvarez » Fri Jul 26, 2013 2:36 pm

I'm hoping that those of you that mounted a Mixture Control (or other control) on or near the Instrument Panel can provide some guidance. My question is what have you done to route the cable around the fuel tank. I have provided 2 pictures of my installation below...the cable is well secured and there is no issue w/ the bends. The issue is that the cable is pressed against the fuel tank.

What have others done? Did you just leave it? Devise some sort of stand-off? Or place some aluminum between the cable and tank to prevent abrasion?
