hi ken -- so is it the same length, overall, do you think? because i've
added gen-mars, the ST-bars, plus another inch of riser, i'm a little
worried about cable length issues. and does anyone know of a picture that
shows the left ST switchgear, so i can see how the metal tube works? it's
probably fine, but i'd hate to end up with a new clearance problem of some
sort.

you must be talking about this one. i can't make out the cable in
it though -- too small.
