Berni,
           I do not = believe that such a thing as a standard length exists in the fleet of 360s = due to the variability of engines, injector mount locations and simply rout= ings of cables by each builder. Now for the good news; assuming you are usi= ng control cables with a wire end, Aircraft Spruce sells these from 3 to 8 = feet long ( part #05-08172 ) and the price only increases by a buck or= two for each for each incremental increase. So order it plenty long and si= mply trim off what is not needed once your cable is at the injector body. I= f by chance you wish to use a cable with a permanently attached end for a b= all joint end you will have to specify length to order. In which case I wou= ld try to find an old worn out control cable to use as a dummy until you ha= ve figured out your new routing and can get an accurate measurement.

If there are gotchas that I might encounter, please let me know.
