Although they look very blocky and not very aesthetically pleasing, they perform a function and hopefully they do it well and keep the cables away from skin.
These are the countersunk F-01497A Rudder Cable Guides...
before and after countersinking...or more accurately, after and before countersinking.
and both the F-01479A & B sets...
I was a few AACQ4-4 rivets short for some reason and had to order some more - yes, the initial inventory was checked and the quantities were correct as per the inventory - qty14.
As can be seen below, the centre of three of the rivets broke off flush with the rivet head and one of them pulled out completely. I've asked the question and apparently this is still considered ok. At least if that opinion changes, they'll be easy to replace. I may end up replacing them at some point anyway so they're all the same.
Done for now....until the rivet order arrives.
This shows the rudder cables installed and the cross-over required.
