Status: online 		Do you need the brackets or the cable? The reason I ask is that you could just use picture hanging wire. It comes in different diameters and it has the same twist as a tow cable and all you would have to do is glue the cable eyelets to the end of the wire after you cut them off the broken plastic cable and drilled them out. The other cool thing about picture hanging wire is that it will keep its shape when you bend it.

That is what I do with mine. I cut the brackets out of the cable. Drill them out, and run real wire through them. That is why I don't have a bunch of cable laying around as I cut them up for the brackets. I do have an unopened Sherman. I will have a look tonight and see if I have one for you.

Cheers
