Rudder Cables Through Tailcone

 
I ran the left rudder cable through the bulkhead openings and into the front tunnel.  I also finished installing the cushioned clamps on the right rudder cable plastic sleeve.  I finally turned the fuselage on its right side so I could reach the work area.  I ran the left cable through the center bulkheads and thru the tailcone out the rear bulkhead.  What a project.  I bolted the cables to the rudder pedal arms with temporary bolts. I also installed the cushioned clamps to the left plastic sleeve securing it in place on the seat rib. 
 
After running the left cable thru the rear bulkhead I safety wired a 16d nail to the end so it would not slip back thru the bulkhead.
