Oops- believe I 'replied to author'. Thank you Huston, that did the trick! For those of you in the future of cyberspace googling around about the Nitto AS-2 (or other) seat bolt binder cable hangers, the secret is to get the cable length just right. Took me about 10 separate snips to nail it. If too short, the hanger will sway dramatically one way. If too long, it will flex. Updated Appaloosa pics to come in a few weeks :)
