cable cross tape

Post by ralphhsd »

What type of tape are people using to secure the drag, antidrug cable cross inside the wing. I don't know of any household tape I could expect to hold together very long let alone 20 plus years

Ralph,

People also create cable/wire separators out of phenolic material, heavy leather, or even wood. It just needs to be something softer than the cable it self so that any potential chafing wears the separator, not the cables/wires themselves.
