Is anyone willing to take some pictures of the cable runs aft of the rear seat. The cables were removed from our plane that we are rebuilding. The service manual nor the parts manual give a really good picture of the runs through the pullies and fairleads aft of the rear seat. Especially needed rudder, elevator and trim cables.
If you could e-mail them to dalords@cableone.net
Thanks

Cable routing changed considerably over the years and it's important to mention your model/serial number whenever possible when asking questions.
Even amongst closely-serial-numbered aircraft, there are variation possibilities. On at least two occasions I have rec'd questions on aircraft (both overseas) that were apparently re-constructed from either wrecks and/or parts, and neither aircraft followed the factory cable routing of ANY model 170!
They each had been rebuilt/repaired using an ad-hoc routing and required custom mfr'd cables. (McFarlane had supplied standard cables which, of course, did not fit, but they accomodated both aircraft with replacement, custom cables without addt'l charges!)
