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

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!!!
