Yourmomm 2 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi all looking for a supplier of 1x19 6mm Korean kos 316 wire for standing rigging, (or similar quality alternative). Every supplier I can find sells only Chinese 316 wire, which I don't believe can be trusted, (as steel and tube found out, the hard way). Thanks for any advice...

Miscreant 1 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Any reputable your rigger will be able to supply you any kind of wire. It's not in their interest to supply inferior wire. They'll also be able to give you good advice for free! The majority of professional riggers in NZ in my experience, use KOS 1x19 anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ladyhawk 37 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Send him a PM via this site is what IT means I think, here is a link to KM's profile, use the "send me a message" button http://crew.org.nz/forum/index.php/user/3009-knot-me-maybe/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 544 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 And just in case KM has gone off touring the world on his two wheels again (I know it is planned, but don't know when) call CRA and ask for Allan. He's also very helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yourmomm 2 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ok for others' reference: Anzor have got back to me and confirmed their wire is from a "korean manufacturer, based in vietnam". They dont do swageing though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miscreant 1 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thought you said you were doing it yourself? If you need swages onto the wire don't you need a rigger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yourmomm 2 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Thought you said you were doing it yourself? If you need swages onto the wire don't you need a rigger? No, I don't think so. But just out of interest, what makes you say this? I dont know what I dont know, so mebbe I'm underthinking this job... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yourmomm 2 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Oh, and for more others' interest, these guys DO do swaged terminals, but they havent confirmed with me yet whether they use chinese steel.... http://www.clamp-products.co.nz/products/1x19/1x19-3mm-wire-rope-aisi-316 Still looking for more suppliers of 1x19 by the meter (swage terminals, or not), if anyone knows any?

Miscreant 1 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Have you contacted any riggers to price up what it would be for you to buy and have swaged from them? At least then you'd have a point of comparison to see whether you're gonna get a good deal.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
180S 20 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 As was posted earlier, I used KZ Marine. Good quality and all the swage fittings you may need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
