Erich,
Found your original post in the archive. This is about what I had
planned on doing. Your post implies the 0.078" Bowden Cable Inner
Wire fits in the original cable housing. Is this correct? If so, it
certainly makes life easier than having to replace the complete
original cable set with a complete Bowden Cable/Housing (2nd option).
Thanks,
Bob Borger
