is there some way of ensuring they dont contact?

Jeremy,

Run them in nylaflow tube alongside the tank and the pitchstop support using 
small
brackets to hold the nylaflow in place. If you also use nylaflow tubes through
the fin out to the tailwheel rather than stainless steel then you'll find
the tubes will deflect as the tailwheel moves and reduce friction wear of the
cables at that point.


Regards

tony
