Hoodpin lanyard cable with green platic coating

[Jay Lutz]

Looking for this 1/16" diameter cable. Seems like it was a common hardware store item but I may be all wet about that. Secured with nicopress sleeves. Can anyone point me to a source? Only need about 3' of the cable. Trades?

Might not have a green color, but is that what you are looking for?

Try looking in the clothesline section?
I remember seeing it too- you're not crazy. Maybe try a smaller hardware store-- the big box hardware stores carry less and less of those kinds of things these days.
you can also buy some smaller stuff with clear plastic on it vs. the green.

I'll try the little nearby hardware....plastic coating prevents scratching the paint.

Hardware stores have it usually beside the chain. Usually called aircraft cable. I use it on my car to trigger the door release and support the splitter.

visited the hardware at lunch....it's called plastic coated clotheline. Unfortunately they didn't have it in 1/16" diameter......:^( Jay

Jay,
From Ebay: 1/16" Green Vinyl Coated Galvanized Steel Guy Wire by Apex Tools Inc. It's a 250 foot roll, but you know it's available. Peter

You can use coated braided leader from a bait and tackle store. Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop should also have it. Both have web sites.

Make sure you get the 3/8" stuff. don't want it to come loose again! don't worry about the wind resistance or flexibility..

I have a set of Aerocatch latches without the locks- brand new in box- if someone wants them.
