Hi GR,
I, too, have the Graham tailwheel mod. I just finished installing my rudder
cables and also found the close proximity to my alum fuel lines. I think the
main concern is the rudder cables slapping around during turbulence.....and
even just normal use. I added nylon cable guides attached to the bottom of the
mass balance tower. This showed my the natural run for the cables. I then
added the 1/4" black tubing that is used for drip irrigation systems to places
where I wanted to prevent slapping. After slipping the tubing on and I simply
attached the tubing wherever it naturally sat when passing through the center
tunnel and support walls below the baggage bay. I attached them with a
Redux/flox mix. I also used turnbuckles to adjust the tension and rudder
position.
These are between the rear of the baggage bay and mass balance tower. My
other set of turnbuckles are after the Graham bellcrank on the rear wall and
before the sternpost. This is to adjust the tailwheel so it points the same way
as the rudder.
If you would like some pix, I can send you some off Forum.

Just about to put the top on but still finding little things to do before
that.
