They should have let the video clip run another 15 to 20 seconds so we could find out if they installed a minimum of 5 clamps to secure the eye of a cable that size and to see if they put the u bolts on the correct side of the cable, as the saying goes you never put a saddle a dead horse.
That isn`t as strong as a Flemish eye splice or a Molly Hogan as my friend calls it. A swaged fitting would be my choice.
Yes absolutley but once made they cannot be changedQuote:
