Clamps should be positioned so there is no binding or restriction between the bridle cable and capstan flange. \n\n\t\t(2)\tDetermine that the bridle cables tensions are the same as the tension of the control cable they are attached to. \n\n\tB)\tTorque the bolts on the cable clamps to 55 + or - 5 in. lbs. with a minimum gap of .005 between halves of clamp after torquing. \n\n\tNOTE: Figure 1, attached hereto, depicts a typical installation of the bridle cables and clamps. \n\n\tThis amendment becomes effective December 26, 1973.
