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.

  

  
• Choose the type of termination you need at the Upper end of the wire. There is a range of Upper Terminations as described below; only those relevant to the wire diameter you have chosen will be displayed.

  T-Terminal	Seldén T-terminals must only be used in Seldén backing plates. A mix of Seldén terminals and non-Seldén backing plates, and the other way around, is a severe safety risk and will void any possible warranty and responsibility from Seldén. Please select the correct wire diameter for your requirements.
  Stemball (No Cup)	Ideal for lower shrouds and intermediate shrouds hanging in the spreader brackets with a stemball terminal at the upper end. This terminal is located in the cup of the spreader bracket. If required, it can be used with one or two separate cups to bring it up to the correct size for the cup. Measure the width of the complete assembly, including any cups, to ensure that all the cups are in position.
