Thanks. I will look into them as well.

K337A:

Not to hijack my own thread, but we removed the rear cowl flap cable last night. It was frozen. We pulled the cable out and I put a piece of shrink tubing on one end. I shrank it to the barrel sleeve. We filled the shrink tubing with PB blaster. On the other end we adapted the shop-vac to the cable. While filling one end of the cable with PB blaster the vacuum sucked the sauce through the cable. When we were done the cable moved pretty darn smooth. We did the same thing with the rear throttle cable.

Someday when you have nothing better to do you should look at the Teleflex-Morse online cable catalog. I'd swear I've seen cables that look just like those somewhere.

As an aside, rigging the cowl flaps is not a straight-forward procedure. Now, back to fuel pumps!
