Hi All ,
If you are going to make up fair leads or sheaves DO NOT , use
tube , the wall will be too thin !
To make good ones I would recommend 1.5 or 2" solid bar drilled 3/4 or 1"
running on 3/4 or 1" pins and with provision to grease the bore , in a frame
of 1/2" or bigger plate .
Non rotating guides are only a safety device ! The cable will very quickly
cut into them ----- not good !
best wishes Noel.
