Steve ( for K7LXC ), As I recall the HG-70D had a 3/16 cable at the top with
1/4 for the other two levels. Does that sound correct? Is there any reason
not to use the 1/4" cable if a different sheave and pulley is found to fit
in the upper housing? I don't recall if the upper pulley is physically
smaller or not, but must be narrower to work with the 3/16 cable I would
assume. - Mike

The only 'weak" link I see is the pulleys,I'm wondering what effect
the bigger cable might have on the pulleys..
any comments?
Yeah - bad idea.
And this substitution is recommended by the manufacturer?
