Since it is a lot of work to make the switch, I say fly it for awhile as is
to see if you still want to switch the controls to the center.
Fly it and "spank her like the bad girl she is".

I just bought a flying Lancair 360 on
Saturday. After flying it home on a 700 mile cross country flight I am
certain that the first thing I want to do is to move the throttle and mixture
controls from their current location on the left side of the airplane to the
conventional center location. The airplane has a Lycoming IO360. I
am looking for guidance on buying the best control cables and the length
needed.
I am going to start this project in the next couple of
days and would like to get ahead of the curve by acquiring parts in
advance. Is it possible for me to order throttle control and mixture
control cables without taking physical measurements? Is there a standard
length?
If there are gotchas that I might encounter,
please let me know.
