I have been using the 1/8th (0.125) inch scale on the cable tensioner. I just measured the cable with a digital micrometer and it measures at 0.140-0.147 inches. The next size up is 5/32 which is 0.15625. Looks like the cable measures between the two sizes. So, what is it?

This would give a diam. of 0.139 ..... At the "cut" end an additional 0.011 inch is allowed. Is this within your measurement tolerance?? gil in Tucson At 01:20 AM 7/24/2003 -0400, you wrote: >--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Aucountry@aol.com > >Just a quick question.

The cable I measured was about that diameter. I measured three cables in about 4 different places. I guess that is within tolerance.
