It`s the measure twice cut once rule. Didn`t follow it. Being a rather short fella,I end up doing a " toe dance" on top of the cockpit divider when connecting or disconnecting the topping lift. (wire rope hung off backstay)
So I purchased a longer piece of wire rope and 2 swage fittings and very carefully removed the old.Didn`t even nick the backstay.Boy was I proud .
Now for reassembly.*%^$@#* You can already vision my problem. Can`t slip the swage fitting onto the backstay with the fittings in place.
Short of a new backstay,cable clamp (unnautical) or duct tape what are my options ? ? ? ?
Thanks in Advance
