    Easiest way I’ve fount to calculate the required length is to lay something like rope, fuel hose, plastic tubing, or whatever along the proposed route, then measure the tubing. Most people make the mistake of trying to use cables that are too short, resulting in too-sharp bends or kinking when steering.

    Good idea Frank. I have some 5/8″ garden hose that may be stiff enough.
    Might be harder to use rope, or take more duct tape to hold it in place!
