I am fitting my drag/anti-drag cables and have found that each one touches a singlerib spruce spacer along the way. I guess I expected that to some degree.Upon tensioning them, do I let them touch the spacer and use something to protectthe wood (like the cable on the horizontal stabilizer) or is it sound/appropriateto Dremel away enough wood at the point they touch and reinforce thespacer?I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has run into this problem and "solved" it.Thanks,TomRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:53:58 -0400
