That's what I'd do aldot. I think it will last longer that way, as well as being more pleasant to use. And I agree, if the cable outer anchor point has never had a thread tapped in it, it hasn't had a speed control cable fitted - JD made it without one.
aldot, there is a refinement you could make to your posts if you don't mind: please post your pictures using the icon at the top of the posting box - the fifth icon from the left. It is easier to do, and it puts the pics on Outdoorking's own server instead of an outside one. We have some orphaned pics in the archive, where for some reason the outside site has discontinued the images, and we've ended up with meaningless threads because the pics vanished from them, so now we put them all on our own server. I've converted all of your pics earlier in this thread to local.
