I bought the 50$ one from aircraft spruce ( made in -----) and the jaws don't line up quite right. I found I super glue the place to cut an wrap it with bk tape i get no frays. Cut with a slitter wheel. Did the shrink wrap. Was interesting about the carosion part. Oh crap. I used 7x19 cable an wax lubricant at all nylon ferrel points, it made the cables work so much better. Another great video,, Thanks
Two great comments & additions... Thanks Keith for all your input... Question, Wax Lub - you used at each of the nylon cable fairleads? I was just thinking yesterday about something there, What brand if you don't mind...
I'm also planing to do a pull test to as soon as I figure out a good way.... Thanks for your comments & I'm glad you've enjoyed the video, let me know if you need something covered & I'll do my best...

The wax i used was stuff porta band blade treatment for cutting aluminum. I was amazed at how well it worked.

Are your farrels aluminum ?
I ordered Tined Copper Sleeves from Aircraft Spruce... I sure hope that's what they sent... :)
David I think you'll be able to tell right away.
Aluminum just won't hold up from what I have seen.
Great job on your legal legal by the way.
