RE: Scratch built tow cables?
I've been looking around on the net for articles. One person used what Stang suggested and seperated the strands. They then wound them back together with a Dremmel type tool. Sounds like it would look better, although I'm leaning towards Jstrat's find. From the pics it looks close to the King Tigers tow cable size, and it's already wound together. I'll give both a try and see which one stands up to repeated bending and such.
As for those tow cable eyes, that could get complicated.... might be better off getting the kits for the tow cables, after all.
EDIT: Good idea for the eyes, Brimauster.
Thanks for the replies people!
