I said there was a MISSING cross brace, not a removable one.  In any
event, the PP goes through the wall of the tower in only one specific
place.

I use some Texas Towers rotor cable with IIRC, two #14 and six #16 
wires.  The #14's go to CW and CCW.  Three of the #16's are in
parallel for the common motor lead.  The other two #16's are for the
pulse signal.  It is taped in a bundle with my RG-216 coax that
all coils up on the ground.
