Per Vans the quadrant cable lengths were 49.5" for the throttle and 52.5 for the mixture. Because these were a little tight I special ordered cables 1.5 " longer. that is 51" and 54". The cables received were about 4" longer than the installed cable so we had plenty of extra cable to route. Mine was an early firewall forward kit but something has drastically changed either in the original cables supplied or the way they are measured. I don't know whether they measure the same way as certified cables. also do not use the eyeball firewall carry-thru unless using the double nut version; the eyeball with the small screws and SS clamps are a PITA to remove and install with the engine in place. This operation should have never been needed since cables should last to TBO and changed at overhaul when engine is elsewhere being overhauled.

I'm one of the ones who couldn't route the cables per plans, too tight.
I had a number of emails with Vans, couldn't resolve the source of the problem. But anyway, per Vans (Ken I think), the measurement is:
From the farthest point forward (threaded end) with the control full forward, back to the mounting flange (cockpit end).
This only works if the forward ends are standardized. What also matters is the distance forward to the attachment nuts.
