Having discovered that I too could not get the cables under tension, and not
for lack of trying, I elected to use a small hose clamp wrapped around both
cables and the upper tube of the arm; not elegant, but effective (and low
mass).

Subject: Mass balance arm cable
I would like to know how to best correctly tension the cables that hold
the Stab mass balance arm centered over the pitch push tube? I have
heard some use turnbuckles but the ones I have found are pretty bulky
for this application. Has anyone found a small turnbuckle? My
nicopress tool has a large head as it can press multiple sleeve sizes
and it will not fit between the balance arm and the cable when the mass
balance arm is in place. How have you solved this problem?
Thanks,
