Throttle cable

Well Known Member
Could someone measure the diameter dimension of the 51" throttle cable Vans sells for the RV-7/7A? I would like to order some firewall pass through eyeballs and need the cable diameter.

Thank you.
 
Scott,

I used the SPHERICAL METAL GROMMETS BALL HOLE .260" (P/N 05-06940) from Aircraft Spruce for the throttle and mixture cables on my RV-7.
 
Messy area

If you are planning on a O-360 that area where the fuel pump doubler, throttle cable and carb heat cable all interfere with each other. Much easier to deal with off the airframe. The cable eyeball makes directing the throttle easier but takes more space.

The easiest method is to increase the size of the doubler. But I needed to order the eyeball and couldn’t remember the correct diameter.

Thanks
