Control Cables (1)

Installation of the cockpit and firewall sides of the control cables has begun.

These were the initial penetration of the center firewall box prior to applying Lavashield to the surface. Silicone grommets primarily protect the cables from vibrations and chaffing.  The stainless grommet covers are intended to reduce heat/fire to the grommets. They will later be filled with RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) material on the inside to seal out gases.

More details in subsequent posts.
