[QUOTE="Dreamwalking, post: 92042, member: 3389"] Homebrew .. it is a qualified practice to fix your initial runaway lead from the coil to the shaft, only allow sufficient excess at the pivot joint to allow you to move your coil 90 degrees ... best way to do this is straighten out your coil so it lays parallel to the shaft, tape the cable or clamp it if you have shaft clamps, keep the cable straight for approximately half the shaft length, thereafter wrap it, still keeping it firm till you reach the control box. The reason you need to keep the slack cable taut is that it does move when you swing and the minute movement will cause false signals. Cheers Pete [/QUOTE]
