Control cable lengths?

There was a post years ago that had drawings that showed the lengths of all the control cables. I had or have copies of that drawing but I can not put my hand on the one I have. Does anyone have the drawing? I think it was put out by Bill Rhodes. If i could get a copy it would help me in sorting out all the control cables that I have, I am moving from the Butler airport 6A1 to the Montezuma airport 53A and it is amazing the things that one finds when he moves.

I am also interested in this info as I am in the process of replacing some control cables. McFarlane sells a whole set of them, but some of the cables on the 120 I am restoring were long ago replaced and they don't fully match up.
Here's the set that McFarlane sells:

The right rudder cable I want to replace does not have a turnbuckle in it (I guess relying on the left turnbuckle for tension?), but the one I got from McFarlane (MC0400107-4) ends with a turnbuckle that would be in the space under the seats. I guess I need another short cable to go from there to the rudder pedal.
