Okay, let's see if I got this right. :-)1-The pulleys are in the center section.2-The cable has to come apart at or near the junction betweenthe center section and outer wing.3-The turnbuckles are on the horn down at your feet.So it appears to me you need one small opening ten totwelve inches outboard of the pulley.You make the connection six inches outboard of the pulleywhen the system is in neutral ( aileros flat ).You unhook the turnbuckle connection and pull the cableand connector down through the hole. Since the connection issix inches outboard and the hole is twelve inches then this places the connector below the wing by six inches. Easy toget at now, isn't it. :-)Once those two connections are undone then unhooking thetop connections at both horns allows you to pull the entiretop cable turnbuckle assembly out the inspection hole you've added in the middle of the center section far enoughto easily work on it.My kids don't call me Crowdad for nothin' !Clif ----- Original Message -----

Hi Rob, after speaking at length with scores of builders, I will build my corvairstrictly to WW's manual and recommendations. I have read many articles involvingthe Corvair conversion and without a doubt no one is better qualified thanWW. I have disassembled the engine and will clean, powdercoat, paint and assemblewith a nitrided crank, the recommended cam and all of the gold productsthat WW offers. Will post pictures as I complete the work, hope to see your projectsoon, right now I am preparing for a major storm, later, Joser.--------Jose R.
