: This is an easy job. At the beginning of the year, I replaced an Avocet and
: two Skerrays. Just take the cable with you. Can't remember if the allen
: kay was metric, but it took awhile to find the right one. If I remember
: right, we bumped up the stoutness of the cable.

The VCP cable is in between 3/32" and 1/8" in size (probably metric, 3mm). I've tried both sizes and they both work, but 3/32" cable reduces friction in the system and I like it better, despite the fact that it's more flexible.
