I don't have any photos of the cable attach inside the fuselage but 
the two photos below show the exterior.  Click the photo to enlarge 
for a better view, especially the second one.

I tied the two cables together inside the fuselage for better 
geometry and have them each exiting through their own cable 
guide.  That keeps the tailwheel cable from putting a side load on 
the rudder cable.  I pull my tailwheel cables tight just to the point 
before pulling slack in the rudder cable from the attach point to the 
rudder.  Some builders like a bit of slack in the tailwheel cable but 
my setup gives me very responsive handling when I taxi and takeoff 
and landing with the tailwheel on the ground.  I think the springs 
help with side loads on the tailwheel in keeping some of the strain 
off the rudder cables.  Just my opinion.  My rudder peddles are 
lightly spring loaded to the firewall to keep the peddles centered 
and the rudder cables taught.

So, is there a softer tire I can get for this assembly?  That little 
wheel sounds like a siren on a grooved runway like Mt.Vernon. :-)
