Yep.. I am aware of this trick and made a decision not to mention it.  I
wouldn't notch the bracket with the line still in it so for me the line
would still have to be detached.

I also wanted to keep my directions as newbie friendly as possible.

I also haven't done this to myself so ethically I couldn't suggest it
either.
Though it sounds like it would be excellent for 'field repairs'

Scott.
