Hey Unkie great images. Yes, that last image you posted makes it look like the cable just runs straight through the height adjusters to the rear flap...Im trying to see how it would work...
Also in the 3rd photo you posted the front cable looks to be almost kinked, Im just wondering could this have lead to the automatics downfall....Or am I going crazy, is this just a bad drawing...?
Also I know this might not be new to you guys but I keep seeing these pop up on eBay and was wondering if they were a factory thing or just some aftermarket product. Well it's quite clear that from a lot of the posts that the automatic and the standard model 4's had these snorkel ties.
