The photos from my Note II seem to be increasingly less like a phone and more like a potato.

You have a fingerprint on the lens.

It's actually a tempting thought. There's some decent access to it and it seems like increasing the area the cable "bites" should greatly increase the lifespan.

I'm not sure what the name for them is, but there's something like a sloped washer that would work well for this.

Definitely put some kind of washer in, epoxy and JB weld will wear through as well. Ideally the cable should pull on a washer, which is held in place by epoxy.

It's a plastic tank right? I've heard of people reforming those with a heatgun

Yep, nope, I don't want to be anywhere near that.

Yeah, I learned a long time ago that you never put anything resembling moist lube in a lock, lest that happen.

That's just perspective and the exhaust isn't near the track bar, right?
