Status: offline 		Just wondering if anyone has installed tow cables on their Elefant and if so what did they use? I found an inexpensive metal set on feeBay for the Taigen Tiger that might work as well as a set of Schumos...just wanted some opinions..thanks

Status: offline 		Thanks for the advice...you both have some good points to make... I went ahead and got the Taigens as I would prefer a little more flexibility in the cable for the install on this paticular set-up. They measure about 54cm(21") which is just about right for how they need to lay on the tank. Since all the Elefant has is hooks(no clamps) it would be a lot more difficult to position the steel cables as they are pretty stiff(I know as I installed Schumos on my M41), and if I hadn't purchased the clamp set for my M41 the Schumo's would have never stayed in the right position..I'll keep ya posted as to how they work once installed..
