Stef, I used a non-rigid plastic tube. Since it is only there as a chafe guard rather than pulling against it like on a bowden cable sleev, it doesn't need to be rigid. Just clamp in place at one end with an adel clamp and you are done. See the blue tube along the left side of the cockpit in the attached photo. The tube ends just a few inches past the bulkhead behind the seat. Mine has been like that for 18 years and well over 1000 hrs of flight time and seems to work well as I never feel the cables against me. There is a cable sheeve with a guide on top of the spar, but it's hidden by the seat belt in the attached photo.
I would think a carbon fibre tube would be quite abrasive to the cable. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > Hi netters, > I am at the way to install the rudder cables at the position where the Seats > are in a carbon Fibre tube (so you will not hit it with your elbow).
