Mark, You hit the nail on the head. Don's kevlar is a heavy coated cable that is just fine to crimp. I put a picture of Don's next to a 4-40 dubro. I have also used the kev-cord connecters as shown in previous pictures. I even used them on tail bracing and they work fine. I think the reason I like Don's the best is because it is a kevlar strand that has a braded coating that stands up to crimping, knotting and scraping that would easly cut other kevalar fibers.
