Chuck,

I wish the 35-2 had that access port through the cockpit floor.  Unfortunately 
it does not.  Worse, the cables are terminated with U-bolts on the wire, so it 
will require loosening the U bolts (two of them) then pulling the wire tight 
and then retightening the U-bolts.  Probably done when my yard folks redid the 
steering on Cat's Paw after Irene in 2010, when the cables broke.  I think this 
is probably a job for them, as trying to reach the quadrant from the port 
lazarette is really hard.
