Mac, I forgot to mention that you don't want to R&R the conduit itself if you can avoid it: it is held in place inside the tail by clips in a couple of spots & I was warned that those can't be gotten-to without taking everything apart.

I think the conduit might be twisted. I bought a new conduit from Skyport but I'm chicken to remove the old one for fear that the new one won't go through cleanly (there is no opening in the elevator to help guide it; by the way, how do we check for corrosion when we can't see the inside of the elevator? A subject for a separate note). I have some ideas of how to do this but I would benefit greatly from hearing from someone who has actually done it. Mac McMahon N94184 VKX Friendly, MD
