I have a system that is trouble free and involves a telescoping cable housing that eliminates any cable buckling. Tight tolerances keep the the pebbles out but it still can stick if you find the right size sand grains, usually doesn't.

I am meeting with a manufacture tomorrow about injection molding the system. I have no idea of their pricing, timing or certainty of interest. You can be sure that I will post something when it is appropriate.

This is not a simple or inexpensive build. Hopefully I get some positive feedback tomorrow.

Best,
