Your new method looks a little more complex to install/set up - plus it looks like you have no chance of adjustment once the pull-pull wires are crimped ??

Keep posting !!

Hello Steve. Actually, it is just the opposite. The new system is very easy to install and adjust. MUCH easier than the one with ball links. I did NOT need to learn a new language to install this one. :-)

As for the cables, I had planned to use a small spring in the system so I could put some tension on the cable to insure it stays tight, but I deemed this unnecessary. I have a couple more videos to post but am having a little trouble with them. I have uploaded one 3 times and it keeps rejecting it.

More on this subject to come.
