oops.... that reminds me..... One reason to use a cable bushing. It would possibly be smaller thus easier to fish that through the spring. Thought of that detail the other day then promptly forgot! If a 3/32" thimble + cable, or bushing + cable, won't fit through the spring, one would have to insert the unfinished cable through spring, install that in lower arm, take it down to the shop, and have the other end done. A PITA of sorts, but pretty sure it can be done. Actually..... That is likely what one would have to do. IIRC, the hole in end of lower arm where cable passes through may be too small! Oh well. It's a start. Neil.
