Hi all,

I am currently reassembling my 1962 Sport 13 and I have a question with regards to wrapping the steering cable on the drum on the helm. I've searched the archives and I've seen the great article on how Binkie did his, but mine looks a little different. Whereas Binkie's steering drum had multiple grooves to wrap the cable in, my drum is separated into two sections with 2 holes in each. I took a picutre of it before I took it apart, but unfortunately did not take a picture of the side to show how the cable threads through the holes. Could anyone help out with how the cable should be threaded through these?

Thank you.
