My inquiries so far suggest that CASA's proposed "new approach" is the fire alternative to the pan of replacement. Expensive overkill, either way.
The old major was a bit of an over kill for cables but each 10 years would be an ok option.
Disconnect one end of the cable each 15 years and have a good look at the "hard to see" areas is not a bad idea.
Yep as a LAME it should/will be cheaper than replacement.
