Control cables installed in cabin

We attached the throttle and prop cables to the tunnel cover and the throttle quadrant levers:

Turns out that there was still some interference with the center console in certain lever positions, so we sanded the center console lightly in that area:

We then secured the cables to the firewall with the TTP-S fittings. I thought I'd have to secure them in an intermediate place (e.g. using F-1083), but they're still enough and held firmly enough in place by the fittings that there's no chance of them hitting the rudder pedal arms - we held them together with friction tape just to be extra sure:

Next will be securing these cables to the engine.
