Cowl flap cable broken

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I started a Topic about the cowl flap hard to operate.

The cowl flap could be closed only with lots of Hand power-

Now we have found the Problem:

The bowden cable (inner wire) is sheared off about half  of an Inch before the handle.

Now the question is, how to Change the inner wire and especially how it is fixed at the handle.

The handle is a Kind of round thing with a square part right where the wire starts.

The inner wire is available at aircraftspruce, I think. Or do we Need to Exchange the whole cable including the outer pipe and handle?

 

Thank you for your help!

I would change the entire cable, the inner sheared off, but how can you be sure it was binding or scrape on the outer sleeve? If you can replicate the ends (swage fittings?) then you can build it yourself (as a owner produced part). You’ll need to measure the cable diameter(and strand design: is it 7x7, 7x19, 1x19).
