How to use:

• Select Custom Build Wire to configure a complete wire with end fittings.
• Choose your Wire Diameter (4–8mm, with optional PVC coating).
• Enter the exact Length in metres. Our website will accept a length to 3 decimal points. However, this is not usually practicable. We aim to produce your rigging to a tolerance of + or - the diameter of the wire. The bearing edge is the point/surface at the end of a termination that will take the load i.e., the inside edge of an eye. The picture shows examples of typical bearing edges - The point from which your measurements should be taken. Please take extra care when ordering because once a custom-built product has been started (cut), it can neither be cancelled nor returned for a refund.
