 Many builders use the tube as it provides a very tidy way of keeping the
 cable clean and clear of any obstructions.

Hi All,
I second this and would suggest to temporarily, at least, install the brake 
caliper try it. Had to move mine up to clear the bleeder screw on the 
caliper. Also put the cable inside tubing from the pulleys -aft past the 
baggage shelf too. Clamp the tubing to the side of the baggage wells at the 
most aft corner to keep them from slapping the fuselage floor.Additionally, 
before you crimp the cables at the front be sure the crimps don't catch on 
the forward rubbing blocks and that they are exactly center throughout the 
cables movement. FWIW.
