As an alternative to Marks thoughts, I use the A-740 ratcheting cable on most mixture control and heat control cables. It has a simple detent that keeps the cable from sliding in and out on its own, and makes a ratcheting noise and feel as you slide the cable in and out. It binds just enough that it doesn't slip, without making the cable actually bind. My personal preference is to do that rather than the A-700 that you have to squeeze down to move. However, on the most recent installation I did for a customer, the A-740 had a lengthy wait time to ship, so we ended up buying the A-700 style through McFarlane with delivery in just a week or two. Either cable works well. It's just a personal preference, and the A-740 costs a bit less. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozarks -- KRnet mailing list KRnet@list.krnet.org https://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet
