Okay, I'm finally starting the "restoration" of my 1965 13 Sport. The previous owner put in a homemade interior and changed from the original cable steering to a Teleflex Safe-T steering. You can see the interior on my personal page. I'm going to replace the current interior with a proper mahogany interior. The question I have is installing the steering cable in the console. How are people running the cable - do they drill through the mahogany side rail or is there sufficient space on the console to get the "gentle" bend in the cable keep it inside the mahogany side rail?

And yes, as part of the restoration/upgrade I've got the 20 degree bezel for the steering helm.
