Wiring shrouds to spreader end
Posted: Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:52 am
Hello!
My first post on the DaySailer.org Forum! During our last sail of our newly acquired 1965 DaySailer I, one of the spreader bars broke off. I've just received two new heavy duty alum. spreader bars and wire. I'm wondering if my wrapping/attaching was not correct to cause the break (I had re-wired them due to damaged wire). I thought I had followed the original while using photos to guide me, but something happened. Does the shroud wire need to be able to move through the wiring? Or, should the wire that I attach be tight to prevent movement? I noticed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb76xB8lVdk
Can anyone advise on this important step?
Thanks,
Sam
