L3 Brake cables

[Aerco]

Does anyone know the exact the length of the outer Bowden cable casings for the L3?

My manual gives me a length of 30.5" for the front cable outer casings, but there are two lengths listed for the rear: 27.5" AND 32.5" . Why two lengths?

The inner cable lengths are given as 66" for the front and 114" for the rear - this seems ridiculously long.



Can't find any drawings on my disc relating to these cables.

Ah, maybe I am looking at the glider cable lengths?!?

Well, whatever you do, don't use those dimensions for the brake cable housing. Front ones are too short, rear ones too long. At least on my airplane....

Which L3? I could measure those for my 65TC which has the A-728 TCDS but they may not be the same for versions covered by the A-751 TCDS.

L3B or O-058B.

Aerco, the TCDS for your airplane is different than that for mine. I will measure and report but I don't know if it is relevant to your needs.

Aerco. The sheaths on my 65TC measured 31" on the left and 33" on the right.
