Cowl Flap Actuator Cable

[moontownMooney]

We are having issue with our cowl flap actuation. When we activate the push/pull in the cockpit, it doesnt really move the cowl flaps because the cable shroud is simply slipping through the firewall pass-through (instead of being held firmly in place) and the actuator linkage doesnt actually move. The pass-through is the type shown in the picture below. Is there a way to tighten the pass-through onto the cable sheath so that it can't slip or is this some kind of integral unit that is now busted and must be replaced?

Look in your IPC for what should be there to retain it, or you can put an adel clamp (aka p-clamp) on the cable and secure it somewhere convenient.
