Anyone replace trim tab actuator cables?

[BillR]

I want to replace the mechanical trim tab actuator cables on my K-Planes. I have one that could be questionable. I can't see where the length is written anywhere on the old cables.
Has anyone replaced these on a TS TG? If so, do you remember the lengths?
Thanks in advance!!

I did just 3 weeks ago, I believe it was 19 feet, had to special order it in black.

Both sides? I thought port side would be longer???
Thanks LS!

While were on the subject...that face plate on the dash with the clear plexiglass in it, that covers the indicators...does it just pop off or is it bolted down?

contact c/s at Cigarette, I am sure they will have the part number / lengths readily available. If they don't - get a Formula! Best C/S regardless of age.

I just replaced the port drive cable on my 28ss. there were no markings on it at all I yanked it out and it was 20ft.

..word of advise use some washers and nuts to "jam" a heavy wire on one end of the cable, pull the old cable out attach wire to new cable and pull new cable back thru..works like a charm.

The cable should be marked on the outer housing 1 or 2 feet from the end. Morse 33c supreme series are top shelf units.
Good luck

Bolted down------is your plastic not looking as good as it should ?

Thanks LS
Not lookin as good as I'd like. I've replaced everything else on the dash and that kinda stands out. Guess I'll have to pull the dash again to get behind it.
