Craig,
For the cable guide, I could not use the factory supplied part so I ordered
4 ft of 1/4"X.035 wall stainless tubing from Wickes and used a tubing bender
to follow the template that I had made with the coat hangar.  Where the
guide passes thru the fuselage, I wrapped the guide with 2 bid of eglass as
a precaution against any kind of corrosion between the SS tubing and the
carbon of the fuselage.   I did not use a flox hardpoint where the clamp
attaches to the fuselage. I don't know if this is right or wrong, did not
seem to be that much stress on the clamp.  Do what you feel most comfortable
with.
