This has been discussed many times Charles, and I think the consensus was that we all agreed to disagree, as with many things Austin 7 use what you see best for the reasons you believe that they work. You may be missing something you may not, but unless you try things and resolve or not any issues that arise you will not know, as already stated friction is the enemy of the bowdenex, and lack of rigidity and indirect pull the enemy of the standard system. I run both open and closed cable systems on different cars for different reasons, and in each case I am entirely happy with the results that I achieve.
