Howard, progress. I did a similar fix to my OD lockout using a split collar, albeit a longer one. It grabs the housing and cable housing nicely.

Yes, Minimal progress but progress nevertheless. Still waiting for the brake tubing to arrive so it can be run under the engine without obstruction before anything else goes in on top of it.
I almost went the the wide split collar for the lockout cable but McMaster wanted $25 or so for their extra wide. I could get two regular width for around $5 each so went cheap.
Today's activity. Spent this morning pulling out the old headliner. I needed to get the courtesy light wiring out so it can get sent to RI Wiring. The run is simple but not part of the regular wiring loom. Figured it had to come out eventually so might as well do it now and get that started since there will be a wait for it as well.
Seems to be an area of confusion on just what and how interior body wiring is done on the 2106. Nothing in schematics so I guess each does his own by experience. Naragansett had the same item listed for a 2106 and 2126 but they are not the same. Talking to a fellow there didn't resolve my questions. RI said all they had done was the 2126 but at least she knew it would be different because of the intercom and limo stuff. Potomac has no website so couldn't judge what they have and Y&Z only lists a loom in 3 big chunks so no idea what they had to offer in smaller pieces. Will get the loom sent off to RI this week.
Anyone used Kanters older model headliners recently? They offer the front to back seams and more fabric choices now than when I used one on a Patrician 20+ years ago. Debating trying one of theirs or just biting the bullet and ordering lightweight broadcloth from Hirsch and have it made locally.
