Yes, we tried zip ties. And yes we were told to take them off at annapolis. We didnt even have them scored, they were smoothe. Anyway we were thinking about using some cable management tubing (very similar stuff--even has the cut built in), but werent sure if you could attach it w/o zip ties. We'll have to play around with stuff when we get there.
While we are on the topic of trading stuff--we might need another smallest-bore short stroke, although not as short, for our 2x system. Not sure on the details yet, more to come.

Also, we might want some 1" 80-20 extrusion drop in nuts, 1/4-20. If you have some just stop by 449 at atlanta. We thought we had some, but turns out we had 3cm not 1" stock from before this year.

Dont all post saying "I've got that....", just bring some by when we are in atlanta. we dont need to waste other peoples time with a back-and-forth with the stuff.

Thanks for all your help!
