RE: WACO YMF
John,
Go into the Nick Reeves site in the UK. He has flat flying wires in three sizes from 1/16 to 1/8 " and some beautiful forks, at a pretty good price., It is all stainless and can be silver soldered. He also sells the silver solder. Ihave put a link to his site somewhere way back with a photos of the forks (I call them clevises) which go on the ends of the flat wires. Ithink Ibought enough of the wire, more than enough of the fork sets, silver solder and flux, a piece of thin foux leather for the coaming, and had it all shipped to me for under $70.00 US. I'll post a photos of the forks here if Ican locate them.

They appear to be brass in the photo buit they are silver, and only about 5/8" long including the lock nut. One end is adjustable at about 3/16".
