In regard to the ASB cabling - On the last SBD-5 there were no markings on the cable but it seemed to be more rigid than RG-8, almost as if it was a hard line.  As I recall the connectors were longer than a UHF and may have been swaged onto the cable.  When the SBD's wings were unbolted from the center section by the salvage crew they cut the hydraulic lines and the cable.  The hydraulic lines were about 1/4 inch in diameter.  I did photograph the wing joint and these lines.  As I have a large collection of photos of various projects I will have to review what exists and select a few examples.
