How To Measure?
The stroke on a push-pull cable can be calculated by measuring from the end of the support tube to the first thread on the bulk head or on a groove mounted cable you will measure to the front edge of the groove. The stroke is approximately 1.25” shorter than what you measure.
Bulk head or threaded mounted cables – Measure to the first thread on the bulk head mount to the end of the support tube.
Bulk Head / ThreadedGroove or Clamp mounted cables – Measure from the end of the support tube to the front edge of the groove
