My throttle cable has one support in front of the firewall, which leads it down between the bottom of the engine and the top of the oil tank. Shown in purple.
My mixture cable has two supports. One is shown in the extreme left of the photo and is a simple adel clamp to hold it free of rubbing anything. The interesting one was made from a bent steel strap that's secured to the engine mount. The mixture cable curves around to come in 90 degrees to, and just above the throttle cable. Shown in green.

A 415C converted to a D model per the TC, and upgraded to a C90.

I'm trying to get to the hangar tonight (putting a couple more hours into installing a baggage compartment STC Vernon dug up for me) and while I'm there I will get some photos of the control cable routings.
Forward of the firewall, there's nothing. The cables are plenty stiff enough to support themselves, although I think that might be different if they were making any tight curves (which is not ideal anyway)

Hello all,
I've been bringing a coupe back to life over the last 2 years and it's almost ready.
When I got it the throttle, mixture and carb heat control cables were all held together under the panel with zipties. While this prevented them from flexing, it's clearly not the proper method.
Do any of you out there have photos of under the panel/tank showing how these cables are supposed to be secured? As well as photos showing any braces/brackets as well as routing forward of the firewall?
The parts catalog is very lackluster, but univair has a panel to firewall throttle brace PN: F31239 listed on the site. I don't want to order it without seeing what it actually is and how it mounts, especially if I can fabricate it myself.
Thanks in advance.
