If they can guarantee the installed harness will be secured, never flex and be
under no strain you MIGHT be able to get away with it....
But a general comment (nothing against you, Howard) it seems a shame to always
look for answers in a spec instead of using common sense and good engineering
practices. Makes me wonder how many others are stretching the limits to get a
product out the door, even if lives will be at stake down the road. (ok, so I'm
in a philosophical mood today)
onward through the fog... Jack
