My splicing attempts

[John Shutler]

generally i make them about 1.2 - 1.5m that one is 1.5m ive spliced a 4m one for chogging down big timber that is used from time to time

the shackle is from a boat shop

[old snake]

try nitrile, the stuff they make o rings from, little memory, uber stiff yet flexible. And as its solid can be tapered nicely!

 

My sneaking suspicion it might be what the pulleysaver uses but I won't cut mine open....

 

have a look

 

If you know anyone who uses big oring i.e plant fitter that may be a good point of call for free bit

 

Nice find dak. Might have to purchase a few meters of this and give it a whirl.

I wouldn't mind checking out what you come up with at the AA John.

[Rich Rule]

I think I might order a wee metre aswell.

 

Hadders, I went to bandqit but got confused. Man, they sell loads of different wire in there. Which is the one you got?

[old snake]

Haha! Do they rich! I think I bought two different kinds. The 4mm plastic coated and the 5mm coated.

The 5mm can be harder to insert but works rely well.

I'm really enjoying my new adjustable cambium saver at the min to be honest. Need to finally make my self a pulley saver......
