I've included a couple of pix showing the dilema with re-mounting my carb heat on the rebuild of NC55100. If I run the cable behind the major fuselage tube, it put a tilt on the knob end that forces it up against my newly stenciled interior recessed cup. If I run it outside of the major fuselage tube, I think it may well show when the exterior fabric is in-place. I've looked at my tear down pix from the old fuselage, and don't have one showing the old routing. You can never ever take enough tear-down or re-build pix.

Any info on the proper routing of that cable would be appreciated. It is the hard part of the know assembly that lies up against that fuse tube whether routed inside of it or out side of it.

Thanks ahead of time for the info.

Oh, I've included a couple pix of the completed fuel on off install, and the trim crank install. Things are coming along, but I'm trying to "seal up" ALL of the interior stuff before I cover up access with the exterior covering.
