People complain that the bars from Factory 47 are too pricey compared to others but they smooth and polish the insides just as much as the outsides, so theres no sharp edges at all. Wires pulled through mine with ease. Yes its extra work for them, and yes its extra cost, but ya gotta pay for attention to detail.

I believe it and probably not the only ones. Been on here a while and every week there is a post on installed apes with someone saying this does not work or that or a fuse keeps blowing.
Ask your INDA what he charges for colonoscopies.

I've done a number of the Yaffe monkey bars, and they are similar. Not only is that an issue for cutting the wires, but also makes it very hard to run them. I would just put a good amount of electrical tape where the wires would rest after the final assembly is in place, I never had any problems, including a set for myself, but it is something that could be an issue down the road. You spot stuff like that when you are trying to run the wires, and they keep snagging on something. I don't know what those bars look like, but not much of anything would be able to clean the welds on the Yaffe bars

Yesterday I sent them an email and received an almost immediate response which shocked me. After a bit of back and forth they offered to wire them for me which was a nice gesture but I declined knowing my Indy will make this a non issue but again, glad he is so thorough. I finished just saying I was only letting them know in case it was an oversight. I was assured this would not be a problem but I will have peace of mind no matter what they or anyone else says. I thought they handled it as best they could.
