No other issues and will probably shorten the housing by 20-30 mm now everything is proved. I can look at sharing some photos if you like.
Some photos would be nice if you have the time. Sounds like the Yokozuna housing flexible enough though. I am using Ritchey WCS Streem bars with partial internal routing but that appears to actually work in my favor as the bends required of the housing appear more gentle that on most standard bars I've seen. Time will tell. I'm ordering the kit today.

Given the great lengths to which TRP went to add that holding screw for the arm I figured it had to have some significance. I am tempted to remove it to save some weight, though

Sounds good. Two sets left.
