billsheila is an unknown quantity at this point
Thanks Ernie. Here is a real basic question...looking at this parts sheet, seems like there were two choices (?) either standard cables which I presume are regular steel or stainless steel. I wonder, is stainless stronger in straight tensile strength...just my assumption...but maybe more brittle and likely to fail in the application here of an extreme bend. If my basic metallurgic assumptions are right, would regular steel maybe be better choice than stainless in this application? Anyone know what would drive the choice between whether to use the stainless versus regular steel -- why are both in the parts manual choices?

Thanks
