Wire Rope

[NoiseBoy]

Im after a reel of 100m or so of 4mm Galvanised Wire Rope for a crank up mast. Any suggestion of a good place to get it? Ive tried a couple and they have both quoted an outrageous figure for a courier to Jersey when they could use royal mail as they do for the mainland, at exactly the same price.

Second hand would be fine as long as its structurally sound.

Thanks in advance.

It is only a suggestion,but have you tried any of the ships chandlers/marine supplies in the C.I

Regards,John.

I didn't think of that John, i suppose they use it for mast stays and things on yachts?

It might be worth a try regarding the marine supplies.Failing success in the C.I,you could pop across to St.Malo.It would be day out for you.

A place in Sussex is charging £51 for a 100 mtrs of 4 mm lashing wire rope,plus P&P

Or would 2mm wire be to small for you,200 mtrs for £14.95 plus P&P.This I presume would be of no use in the winch,but could be used as guy wires.
