@Roy - I thank-you for your reality check and viewpoints about a roller guide application. I will be using the 135 degree noodle as Allan has suggested.
Furthermore, I appreciate your comments that my cable should work better as long as I don’t make the cable loop too tight. In using Teflon lined housing, stainless cables, and a drop of light oil, I will be good to go.I will take these into consideration. Back in the 70s', there was cable housing called "elephant housing". Thank-you. Kim Hetzel.
