Oh man! I gotta give a big thumbs up to the people at Aircraft Spruce!! I landed at Osh with a broken mixture cable (YIKES!!) and needed to get this squared away so I could enjoy the show. First stop was to Spuces booth. They had the cable right there!! I did have to order a cable end, but they got it to me the following day. Aircraft Spruce has ALWAYS come through for me, for all of my airplanes, over many years. These guys are ROCK STARS!!! Peter in Sacramento, CA

Installation was easy, and was a quality product just as expected. It even came with a tag reminding me not to pull it out too far, which would be easy to do, because a small ball will fall out and it could be difficult to replace.

Amazing quick delivery
Looks good
Very well made and Teflon lined so the operation is very smooth. A very large-diameter wire so it does not necessarily fit where the old one came out, but easy modification made it work perfectly.
Because of limited space between the firewall and the carburetor mixture control I had to go with this cable. The usual swivel 2-piece end from the regular vernier control was too long and didnt have enough space in front of the firewall to mount the adel clamp! This control works in that tight situation. Just silver brazed the wire end into a drilled out SS 10-32 screw section. One warning, because of the stiffness of the solid wire and wound spring sheath the bend radii have to be large!
Inner solid wire broke at 1500 Hrs.. ^(
Liked the way it looked when i ordered it and needed something heavy duty but this was not it , recieved the item and the inner cable was broken right out of the box.Now i have to reorder something else.
