Hi John and Andy
Well the whole thing is rather uninteresting. I have added some photos of it from the front and rear (hard to get a good photo though sorry) as well as where the cable joins the bomb selector. As to details of the conduit, on mine at least it is just a 1/4 inch diameter flexible metal tube with a black coating over it – just like what you’d find on the brakes to a bicycle. And how does the handle pull the cable, the handle has a 4 sided ‘rod’ at the back and the cable is fixed directly to this.
Apparently this was installed in 2 ways, either flush with the instrument panel or on a 45 degree angle towards the pilot. My one is on the angle and has spacers to allow this to mount properly.
As to dimensions, the attachment at the front is a 1 inch square and 1/32 inch in thickness, it has a round bit protruding which is 1/2 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch tall with the square hole in the middle. It is mounted with 4 bolts and the spacing of these is 3/4 inch center to center. There is a threaded tube on the rear which is about 2 inches long and 3/8 inch in diam, the thread has a ‘nut’ on it, don’t know the technical term but it is actually round with slots in the top side and would need a special tool to tighten. There are 2 ‘clamps’ that hold the cable to the tube.
I hope this helps in some way.
