I'm wanting to install firewall eyeballs in my firewall before attaching the

side skins... The Vans store lists:



Steel Bulkhead Fitting -- Part No: EYEBALL SE961-125S

Bulkhead carry through assembly for control cables or wiring. Hole size 1/8",

can be enlarged up to 0.26" as required.



Does anyone know if this part provides adequate hole clearance for the ($500!)

Vans RV-10 throttle quadrant cables?



At the risk of starting a flame war... SS eyeballs are preferred, right?



Thanks,

Jay

We sell both the Steel (plated not stainless) and the Aluminum pass-through.

Both can be enlarged, but the Aluminum come out much nicer.  My theory is

that if you burn through the 3/4" of Aluminum, you have a bigger problem

(like all of the 1/8" rivets going through the firewall).  I don't know but

I would guess the cables are larger than 1/4".  The Aluminum eyeball you can

drill up to 5/8" before running into problems.
