Would either of you gentlemen explain how you swaged the fittings on the cable after it was threaded through the "S" tube. Aircraft Spruce says the fittings must be installed with a rotary swaging tool, "which is too costly for purchase by a homebuilder or small shop." ACS will make custom cable assemblies, but if the fittings are swaged in place first, the eyelet or clevis ends certainly won't go through the tube, and I'm sure the turnbuckle end won't either. This is a great idea, but I have problems with its implementation. Charles Keller --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Utahweb]
