Well, everytime you speed  you don't get a ticket either. Installing 
different Preforms with a  specific wire rope is a really bad idea. The Preforms 
are precision devices and  take cable size, strand lay and application into 
account in their specific  designs. And you've violated the LXC Prime 
Directive to "DO what the  manufacturer says". Nowhere does it say to do what you 
did. 
 
        Keep your homeowner's  insurance paid up just in case.
