[Alex Balic]

Hey Scott- can you send a picture of your setup? Would like to take a look-
if it is large you can send directly to me at velocity_pilot at verizon.net

Alex,

I will use some hose to simulate the cable requirements today or
tomorrow.  Its such a tight fit I'm not sure I have enough room for the
cable ends. I also think I need about a 3 to 4 inch radius bend on one
end.  My modified  (pre-Elite) door  is smaller than the  current setup.

I found a cable with a 2 inch throw that has a short cable end, but it
requires a 6 to 8  inch radius.  I found a cable with a 4 inch radius,
but it has a 3 inch throw and long cable end.
