flying wires and tools
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:56 pm
I have to redo some of the structural cables on the 1800 floats for
FOKM. I did not build the floats and have no manual for this. Thus I
need some advice on the tools and materials from someone who knows.
1. I believe the cable is 3/16" diameter, stainless steel. Is that true?
2. What is the most reasonable tool to buy for crimping the ends? I only
need to do a few.
3. Likewise for checking the quality of the crimp?
4. Which thimbles would be normal for this purpose?
5. Any special considerations?
6. What tension and how to measure for these cables?
