Very nice work Stephano, your a good craftsman indeed. I too had purchased the wire to do this part, but have not thought about how to install it after the boot is in place. Can you please explain how you install this brace after you put the boot on? Photo? Thanks, Pete
It's quite simple.
1) Prepare the wood block with this brass plug.

2) Bend the wire with a gas torch and cut it.
3) Prepare an hose ring and inserting it on the leg srut.
4)Install the booth
5)Insert the wire in the brass plug in the wood block
6)Insert the wire in the ring hose
7)Fasten the ring hose through the holes (the holes for the flexible wires) in the booth.

The hardest part is mig welding the end of the armonic wire with little pieces of wire, near the strut, to keep it stable in the ring hoose.
Otherwise the wire does not maintain it's position and slides to the left or to the right.
In the photos you can see a wire welded and a wire that has to be finished.
