I was told that I could drill the pin eye ends to a larger size and chamfer the holes to turn them into cable eyes. Has anyone done this? Since I don't have any cable eye ends to look at how much metal is there between the cable hole and the outside of the fitting?

Mac, Just wondering if your computer's date is correct or is my inbox messed up? It is dating your email as year 1990. Just wondering, I almost thought I had a time machine! Well I guess a piet is a time machine, ha ha ha.

Is this string? If so what type? Is it of any use or just for looks? Hope I have explained this right Carson Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=237454#237454 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:08:47 PM PST US From: "gcardinal" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: wood gear question On NX18235 it is waxed nylon cord. It might prevent the wood from splitting but it is also cosmetic. See attached picture.

Then cover it with varnish. It might help with splitting but mine will be more for looks.
