Steering cable connection

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Sounds like there would be a problem with chafe no matter what material the cables were made of, and we have indeed found damage to wire cables, similarly configured. In some cases we have been able to eliminate the problem by moving one or both attachment points for one or both pieces, even very slightly. In other cases, the problem was that the cables were simply thicker than necessary; the manufacturer had built the system such that spec cables wouldn't touch, and therefore wouldn't chafe, but someone decided that bigger is better. It is very common for people to put in too-big HM when people switch from wire, as they don't quite trust the new stuff. What size is the rope? How is it terminated? What diameter are the clevis pins or shacle pins?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
