I have an MT Prop Governor and bracket. How have folks run the prop control
cable through the firewall to be able to make the turn into the bracket?
Pictures would be appreciated.

Exactly. It's tough if you try to follow the now outdated FWF instructions.

I'm using a left-hand throttle quadrant, which ended up being a godsend in
terms of simplifying the throttle and prop cable routing in my particular
case (which is wacky, pay no mind).

My prop cable exits the firewall on the far left side, then swoops up and
inboard and then down to the governor, as seen here:

This probably doesn't help you folks with centered power controls. You may
want to consider using a longer cable and routing it similar to the way I
did. Or not. 8^)
