Hi Ken If you clip the ends off your thimbles as per tony bingelis and
keep your nico nice and tight to the thimble you should be just fine. If
the thimble flattens a bit in use just tighten it up. I've never had to
tighten my cables but maybe I'm just Smoooother than Walter ;)

Below is an old post.
Anybody know of a source for these thimble inserts to prevent the
thimbles from collapsing. Several guys have mentioned that this is a
problem. I thought I would machine up round 'C' shaped inserts but the
opening is too small for what I want. A triangle insert would work but
is a lot more manufacturing effort so if anybody knows of a source or
has a description it would be appreciated...
thanks

I thought I'd post this separately.
First off I want to reinforce the number of landings. That is no
exaggeration. I do have Wayne's recommended firewall braces. I also have
1104 emptykit with the Fife tips. I guess the only stretch is the weight. I'm
or -so that's 1404 full of fuel. I'm 210lbs. So are most of my friends. +
wonderfully!30 lbs. Then the baggage I've never weighed. It still performs
thing I'dAll attach points are the same as the day I installed them. The one
preventdo differently is I found an insert that goes inside the thimble to
floats areany elongation. I did have to tighten the cables a couple of times in the
beginning, but I made no adjustments to them this year. Good luck, and
Drewa blast!!!
