Got to spend a little time in the shop today.
Worked on the engine control linkage.
A few months back I had set it up for steel cable. Since then have read a few posts that this is not a good idea for gassers.
So I got some Golden rod from the LHS. Drilled the cable ways a little bigger to accommodate the casing.
Then It became clear that the choke lever was to close to the firewall to have room for the clevis.
After pondering it a little while. I turned a piece of maple into a 9/16 dowel. Then drilled a 1/4 inch hole into it to create a pocket for the clevis.
Then drilled a 9/16 hole in the FW and epoxied it in.
