How to set up pull-pull cables

[Dean Pappas]

Hi John,
I loop through the crimp sleeve a total of 3 times.
Once through the sleeve, and through the eye bolt,
back through the sleeve,
loop around outside and pass back through the sleeve in the same direction.
If you pull that last loop tight, the cable won't make the turn to pull through the sleeve.
Here's a dreadful little illustration. The = sign is the sleeve. This is the same pattern you use when hand wrapping control-lines.
