Say I don't want to pay ~$800 for streamline tail "wires". The remaining options are to use at 1/4" dia end-threaded rod per the plans or a 5/32 1x19 cable per what other's have said Bob has approved in other threads.
Couple questions:
If I go with the cable what are the options for connecting these at the tail wire links? I've seen mention of a swaged end which requires additional parts and tooling, I've also seen nicopress mentioned which suggests a shackle and thimble setup which seems... draggy.
If I go with the rod where's a good place to get these? I hear tell it's best to have rolled threads rather than cut so that sounds like they need to be sourced correctly.
Either swaged cable or threaded rod requires purchase of 8 additional AN665 ends too, would have been nice to include that in my Wicks order...
