A second cable is only needed if your lift plate is too light, or your friction is too heavy, for the lift to lower itself. As I read your posts, your first cable (pull on lift) is also your second cable (pull on lower). If this is correct, you can pretty much ignore the "second cable" posts.

Also, if this is correct (that is, your cable is doubly terminated on the chassis end), you can make your system more repeatable/reliable by adding more wraps to the shaft/axle/spool on the lift side. This basically means making a somewhat longer cable in the shop (add one or two wraps around that spool), including it in your WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE, then replacing it on the Thursday of your competition.
