Paul,
We used 1/4" Nylaflow tubing on our rudder
cables, from the pulleys up to the tufnol rubbing
blocks, and from just behind the pulleys back to
the area behind the baggage bay plywood supports.
Also used a .5 " length attached to the tailplane
counter weight stop support as a guide block
for the rudder cables.
After finishing up installing everything in our
tunnel area and looking it all over, we are
really glad we encased the rudder cables
in Nylaflow, as that area is very congested.
