Overview

WIRE GRIP - Is a unique fitting which securely attaches to solid wire end push-pull cables. Uses a "pin vice" gripping action to attach a cable. The 5/8" long 10-32 threaded end will attach a clevis, ball joint, or other hardware for use with mixture controls, carb heat box, cabin air, or other applications, resulting in a clean, professional installation.

Note: Use PN 05-16001 on A790 ACS controls.

WIRE GRIP FOR .078 DIA-RED

December 21, 2023

I never saw one of these until I was replacing my throttle cable. At first, I was skeptical to the holding strength... they are precision made, the bowden cable fits snug before tightening.. grips hard.....make sure all parts are clean before assembling..

WIRE GRIP SHAFT + CAP .040 to .050 OD

Im loving this product so far. My only concern is longevity and dependability. If I designed this I would have added a lock-nut behind the wire-catch.

Clever solution for connecting Bowden cable to threaded terminal. Well made. I pull tested after assembling wire grip to cable and it withstood a 100 pound pull with no sign of slippage.

Bag was labelled with PN ordered, but item was a size smaller. Does not fit .078 wire.

WIRE GRIP FOR .078 DIA-RED

Yes, this really is an amazing piece of hardware! I have searched a year for this part. The 10-32 threads DO thread into Ball joint assy perfectly (aircraftspruce # 05-07500). These two parts seem to be made for each other. This is the highest quality solution to connect to the fuel injection contol levers, to control both throttle and mixture. Lycoming 200 hp, home built aircraft. Anything else will be second best.

The wire grip is as advertised. Basically a tiny mandrel with compression about the installed wire. I have not performed a tension test to failure, but the device appears to bind the cable quite tightly. Sufficient for most applications involve control cabling. It is noted that the wire grip is for solid wire only. Supposedly does not work well with multi-stranded cable wire. I beg to differ. Having installed on 7x19 twisted cable, it binds quite nicely, and has equal tension with the solid-core wire. Its also possible to solder tin the twisted cable ends, to basically achieve a solid wire (on the ends), If so desired, creating a multi-strand cable with solid wire ends.
