Safety gear cables routing?

[senior]

Anybody got a pic of the way a safety cable on the gear legs should be installed.
Mine were rubbing on the bungys & frayed one.
Pondered over a number of scenario's till I remounted them but still not sure if there isn't a better way

Senior,

Here is a diagram I believe I found here on the forum sometime ago. Also a couple photos from my installation last spring. Hope these help?

Good idea to put the shrink tubing over the cable. Keeps them a bit smoother so they wont chafe the bungie...but it does mean you need to be extra vigilant about inspecting that cable.

looks pretty similar to how I did mine, zip tied up out of the way,

That's very nicely done Bravo.
I assume you had the same loop on the back side?
I ended up moving mine from the shock mount to the upper cross bar supporting the shock cords & inside the gear leg.
That kept them completely away from the cords except where they went thru the floor & while close they weren't contacting the cords.
