Not on this one unfortunatelyAren't the guard wire terminations adjustable?
Please don't do this ^^Slacken the other end and fit U clamps; it's a bit of a bodge though, you really need shorter wires.
This.All it needs is lashing, but not round the welded-on fitting; ignore it, and lash around the actual pushpit tubing, above the fitting.
(I wouldn't use dyneema etc, because it can be hard to cut with a handy knife, and you don't need the extra strength.)
I agree in principle. Shortening the wire is better. But explain exactly why. We don't learn from simple declarative statements.Please don't do this ^^
I thought he meant, 'use them to join the two rigid sections of stainless round bar' but now I see he probably means 'thread the wire through the loop on the pushpit and bulldog clip it to itself', which would be poor unless you could fit a thimble; also I doubt there would be enough slack at the other end anyway. But if you used a thimble, and there was enough slack to get 3 clips on, it would be totally fine, especially if you wrapped up the clips and frayed end of the wire, in say SA tape to stop getting cut hands.I agree in principle.

Is there some reason to think it would be weak (assuming correct materials and size)? I would take a die grinder and smooth out the groves. Yes, some people will be insecure about the welds on the loop; since these have been widely used with wire lines for a long time, I'm going to ignor that concern for the moment.
