Yes, source was Air Power but box says it came direct from Textron. I've talked with Textron direct and it does appear to be manufactured incorrectly. See attached engineering info on what the cable should be. the new one isn't the same and overall shorter by 1/2" and throw is about an 1 1/2" short too!

Also, what is SK337-8 modification in regards to the Aft Cowl Flap?

Discovered all of Cessna's replacement follow-up cables are defective

Our new cable is on the way. McF was actually cheaper which i suppose isn't all that hard to believe.

Hello ALL. I have an older C337 (1965). Do the newer C337, that have ONLY electric switches, have the follow up cable? If not why not change the to the all electric type PER Cessna wiring diagram/ or do the STC'd electric type per Enterprise Avn. out of Nashville Tennessee. http://www.cessnaskymaster.com?
