What is not sometimes immediately (or ever) apparent about routing something
in a fashion other than original is that it can wear against something else,
sit there buzzing and vibrating annoyingly or otherwise become snagged in
another component, etc. I always figure they assembled these things with
extra clips, ties or other hardware for a good reason, as each item was
costing money.

Thanks to all. One thing that amuses me is admonitions to be concerned about
X. The capillary tube has been routed haphazardly for over 35 years without
incident...
I will take care on te-install....
