Hi Kingsley,
Done it.
Did keep the original outer cases, will measure thickness next time we
remove the cowling.
Some pictures of *our* setup
Being the one who installed the cables and routing, I ensured gracious
sweeps and easy swiveling at the lever junctions.
We never had any issue with the throttle cables in 15+ years, some
degree of smooth friction make them "feel" like any type certificate
aircraft.
And BTW, we never disconnected the piano wires from the lever arms and
provided ferm stops on the throttle lever, so never had to re-synch the
carbs.
