Yeah, one of Hi-Lex's claims to fame is a
spiral wound push/pull cable that is very useful in sunroof application.
It would be great to get some of that stuff in a future FIRST kit. I have knocked on a couple doors there, but nobody has let me in yet. I was close to getting a similar product from a competitor sunroof mfg (
Inalfa), but struck out in the end there too.
If anyone within the sound of my voice has contacts or leads at Hi-Lex or Inalfa or anywhere, feel free to ship me a PM with the data -- I'll try for another shot sometime this summer. OR you could invite them to a local regional and pitch the idea of kit donations yourself.
Much of the cooler stuff in the kit started from a single cold call contact: CIM motors, Globe motor/gearboxes, Allegro sensors, The Gyros, Bosch motors, Mabuchi motors, Fisher Price motor/gearboxes, etc.
Think about it.
