REFLECTOR: Door latch cable

[Alex Balic]

Hi Scott-
Maybe someone else used a cable, but I ma not aware- there was another
large-strake workaround that just changed the geometry of the rods, but mine
was too large even for that, so I went with the cable- after I set it all
up, I used a piece of fish tape to simulate the cable then measured that to
get the length I needed, then ordered it from the factory.

Alex,

thanks for the photo and order info.   That doesn't look like the photo
I had in mind, but maybe my memory is playing tricks on me. 

Looks like a standard 3 foot cable.
