Mike,
I have purchased Cape International's cable setup. DMD also makes
one. I have not decided for sure if I will use Cape's or perhaps
modify it a bit to my liking. I am still "playing" with it. Check out
Jeff Johnk's arrangement when you see his car. As you know, I am slow
but steady in my progress!
