I was gonna say, I doubt you can actually do anything with the cable other than move the attachment point/bracket.
Good deal!

Come on man. You were in the Air Force. Go down to the hanger and have one of the dock guy's make you a cable. 
Just teazing.

Remember I was a PortDawg not a Maintenance Puke. Crew Chiefs,etc don't usually talk to us unless we broke something.
Not yet, I haven't had time to reassemble everything...this job sucks. I'm headed to Ft Bragg Monday until the 26th.

Jim, if you have some free time while you're at Ft. Bragg, give me a call. I'm only 30 minutes away from Fayetteville and JR (Streetshark) lives there too.
