Quoting from the SB PMII and Paramount users guide.
Insert the cable tie into the RA Cable Conduit until the end is visible through the cable conduit access cover. The cable tie (and cable) must be threaded through the outside of the internal shaft and cannot pass directly through the lower access holes. Rotate the cable tie so that its natural bend forces the tie toward the outside of the shaft. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grab the end of the tie then pull the cable all the way through the right ascension axis.
8. Remove the cable tie and feed the end of the cable up the declination shaft, through the upper access hole until it appears at the top of the declination axis.
9. Run the top end of the cable through the access shaft that is machined into the top of the declination axis and the Versa-Plate, out to the left side of the Instrument Panel (page 55).
10. Once the cable has been passed all the way through the mount, make an 8-inch loop in the cable and carefully tuck this loop inside the outer shaft of the declination assembly to allow the declination axis to rotate completely without any interference from the cable itself (see Figure 9). Rotating the declination axis from hard stop to hard stop more or less does the work for you, but allowing additional slack in the cable is recommended.
Now from my reading that means passing cable directly through the mount is not what is required. Feel free to prove me wrong. I want to get this right.
