=== General Hints === | |||
* The exact push pull cable lengths you need are usually very specific to your airplane / the options you have. Run a pitot hose or something similarly stiff along the planned route and measure exactly what you need. | |||
* If you use the '''AeroSport Products throttle quadrant''', with the standard Van’s firewall pass-through locations, and an IO540 with '''Barrett cold air induction''', and '''EFII''' system (specifically the air intake), then the throttle control cable needs to be 70.5” long. So a 176-VTT-2.25-70.5 needs to be ordered from California Push-Pull instead of the 176-VTT-2.25-65.5 that is called out on the AeroSport Products website. | |||

* Step 6: The torque spec for the 11/16 nuts of the control cables and the jam nuts is hard to find. See this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/8501235603330797 FB thread] for a suggestion.<br>[[File:Screenshot 2024-11-04 at 7.00.17 AM.png|400px]]<br>Someone found this spec from a throttle body installation manual (not an RV-10). | |||
