Re: wires cords, cords, wires everywhere

2004-05-07 by Andy Griffin

That looks very neat - you should be able to get that "concertina" 
hose from the DIY store ?
The new DTXIII comes with all the wires pre tiewrapped in 1 big 
bundle with each wire breaking off from the main loom just before the 
pad - they also supply a bag of velcro wraps to fasten it all to the 
frame - AND there are proper plastic labels on the end so fitting and 
removing take less than a minute. All very neat
