the braid is what this has in the headbox, but the yellow plastic looks better, lol mate but im not too picky so either i guess. this isnt the heavy guage stuff, like the older machines ive noticed. i was going to reuse the stuff from the swc headbox, but i have beaky coming to change the boards over for me, so im thinking i might do new strap ready for the board change over. and out of interest does the metal backing that mounts the boards to the box on terminator would it be the same as the wcs? do they use the same boards? if so i mi8ght reinstall the one form the terminator if not ill leave it. cheers
