I'm glad I could help, Peter. I was worried about the friction where the bare cables cross myself, but I've had one bike built like that for a couple of years and haven't noticed any wear whatsoever.
For cables I used a Jagwire kit, which supplies plenty of housing length. I bought a separate (tandem) length of cable to reach the RD, and used the RD cable included in the kit to reach the FD.
