Rework parachute cable slots in rear side rails

I intend to jacket the parachute cable in a spiral wrap to prevent rubbing. This will increase the width somewhat. I was a little concerned with the mismatch in the cable slots in the rear top rail channel CF-CHL-009 and the top rail angle CF-ANG-010 narrowing the gap and creating a fit issue. I thought after making the change that maybe the displacement was to provide a step effect and soften the bend path of the cable. In fact the step had the wrong orientation for this to be so, so this misalignment was simply an error. A step could be created, but I think a plastic wrap is a better approach, also avoiding metal-on-metal contact.
