They use and allow flexible stainless steel braid where the braid will
not interfere with other motions. They usually do not use braid on
things that move during use, only on things that might be moved
occasionally. Where they must maintain the geometry of a bonding strap
or subject it to frequent motion, they use only bronze spring stock.

Your mention of the flexible steel braid does bring to mind that wire
rope cable does come in phosphor bronze material. Would that work?

Bye now.
