Mixture Cable routing under panel

[Grandmas Flying Couch]

I was wondering if any of you had good mixture cable routing, my old mixture cable was routed in such a way that the yoke linkage under the panel pushed on the cable pretty bad, I had a new mixture cable installed and it also Interferes, although routed differently.  If anyone has pics, I would really appreciate the help.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.  The right way is any way that it doesn't interfere with anything else under and behind the panel, particularly the flight controls through their entire range of motion.

This issue definitely needs to go back to the installer because it isn't correct and they will know it.  They probably won't want to make it right, but they should.

I'm sorry this doesn't answer your specific question, but routing cables/lines/wire bundles is a bit of an art form. They don't have to be the same to be acceptable.

It will need to be removed and reinstalled so that it clears all controls and may need additional Adel clamps to hold it secure it correctly.

Thanks @M20Doc,  I will have it done, unfortunately I'm waiting for new cables for the mixture and prop, I sent pics to McFarlane of the behavior of the two cables, the mixture skips when turning it and the prop cable is bent so that it orbits as you turn the knob.  The prop cable has pleir marks on the shaft when you pull the knob that grind inside the mech.  McFarlane says they wouldn't trust the cables as the installer has damaged them.
