bigwalling Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 If you need heads or other sorts of cabled gear I can hook you up. Prices: #1's and 2's heads-$1 #3's and #4's-1.30 Rivet hangers #1's and 2's-$1 Rivet hangers #3's-$1.30 Funkness-$3 Beak and Rurp reswaging-1.30 There are many variations possible: double heads, circle heads, double cables... Beaks and Rurps are reswaged with #3 wire, which means A5 and Huricane beaks will need to have the hole enlarged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtom Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Cu or Al? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwalling Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Not too long, but I trust my work and I'm the guy who doubts everything. It's hard to mess up a head with the set-up I use. I regualrly check the swage with a guage. I also use a Nicopress 510 bench mount with 64-CGMP jaws, none of that crappy campell or other knock off stuff. I can do copper in 1,2,3 and aluminum in 2,3,4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 ...they hold the mast straight. Hey what kind of boat do you have? If you look at my Photo Gallery you can see a pic of my "Brio." Sorry to hyjack your thread bigwalling, good luk seeling your metal, did you check with the local shops? they might be interested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatskiclimbsail Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hobie 16 for the moment. Got it to tide me over while I get settled on this coast (and to exploit the rippin winds we get in the gorge). Keeping my eyes out for a little San Juan or Hunter around 24' I can fix up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrutch Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I tried to sell some of my home made heads and what not to some of the local shops and they were not really interested. Your best bet is here or on a similar site or the Camp 4 B.B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
