swing wing wire replacement
swing wing wire replacement
I expect to change my swingwing wires and asked quorning to supply me new ones. The problem is that I have first to take down the sheaves boxes and send the the whole system (wire and box) to set the new wire.
Except if I am ready to use Norseman terminals that avoid the taking down of sheaves boxes.
Anyone have experienced such terminals?
Thanks.

Norseman terminals
I used those when replacing the swing wing cable on my 920. They worked fine. Just make sure you follow the instruction correctly.

Those terminals work fine on my DF1000 forestay. They should be as strong than any other terminal if installed in right way.Baboonty wrote: Except if I am ready to use Norseman terminals that avoid the taking down of sheaves boxes.

we take the two rear akas to our rigger, and then he
make new swing wing wires with standard non detachably (compressed) terminals, without using norseman terminal, and so we can
leave the sheave box inside the akas.
We didn't like the norseman terminals, while we think this swingwing system is a security part of our 920.
But that question must be answered everybody for himself.

Blue wave is NOT a Norseman or Sta-Lok,. as they works on a different way.
And I know there is e lot of other brands and copys on the marked but I know, and have used the two brands for many years.
Back to the wire replacement.
Are you sure the sheave boxes are ok?
On my 800 the sheaves and even the box are broken.
Maybe it is time to take it out and check it. Then all your problems are solved.
