@Sebastian Is this a possibility worth checking out? https://bearhawkforums.com/threads/bearhawk-parts-dave-802-238-9594.101247/

Wow! Thoughtful wishes and positive Karma from Maine.

@Flygirl1 What prop do you currently have?

IMHO seems a bit of "overkill" - I did not even consider doing them but for a second of two...

Will certainly challenge my nonexistent (okay rudimentary) fiberglass skills...😆

Virgil, great interview and on camera presence!! Makes me want to build a Patrol ;)

Table 2 of the Service Bulletin No. 671A shows only HIO-360 and TIO-360 type engines possibly affected. Someone correct me if I'm not reading that right!

Thank you...looks good. Will certainly challenge my fabrication/sheet metal abilities!

Hey, any info for us Patrol builders on this subject? :)

@FFTravism Yes, located it in the outermost bay of the right wing. Not sure which build log you're looking at, but my ADAHRS is behind my instrument panel...

I made a bracket with plate nuts (for removal of controller if necessary) and attached with rivets to wing rib. Also cut /placed access panel.

McFarland stated that the "...second fit looked better than the first, would work, but not sure for how long." So after I had time to think about things, I fabricated a different bracket which allow me to reposition the clamp slightly more aft and inboard. This freed up enough cable slack to...

Okay, here is a "re-clock" of the cable clamp to reduce the angle to the mixture control arm. Limited by amount of available cable flex I had between firewall clamp and cable clamp on sump. Took out some of the angle. Will run it by McFarlane again...if they "no-'go" again I'll be struggling on...

In the process...hopefully enough cable play between firewall clamp/pass-thru and cable clamp on sump bottom to allow for setting an angle.

I will...this is just a initial fit/function setup. Thanks for the second set of eyes!!

That's the back-up plan...maybe enough cable slack between firewall pass thru clamp to cable clamp on base plate to re-clock. Will disassemble and check possibilities if McFarlane says "No-Go" as it is now. I do not want to have another cable made!!$$

Got my McFarlane engine control cables in this past week and have done initial mock up/install - smooth as butter! Not sure if the angle on the mixture cable is too much and have a query into their cable/tech support guy. McFarlane was/is great to wok with. There is about a five week wait time...

Confirm with Lycoming Tech...they are very helpful!

Disclaimer - Check with Lycoming, but I think... the capped fitting facing aft is the oil cooler out (back to the engine) and oil to the cooler is a fitting that should be located low underneath the right side PMAG and slightly more inboard. The other capped fitting was used for a viscosity...
