PVC coated 6mm 1x19

[AngusMcDoon]

Part of my rigging is PVC coated 6mm 1x19 stainless wire. Neither the rigger I am talking to nor I are having any luck in buying anything less than a 1000m reel. Anyone know where I could get hold of 30m?

Diameter required of metal part is 6mm. Total diameter including coating will be 8mm.

My Rotostay furling gear uses 5mm PVC coated wire. I got one made to size from Rotostay when I got some other parts from them a while ago.

This is where they were:-

Rotostay

Unit 17 Haslar Marina, Haslar Road
Gosport
PO12 1NU

But the website didn't work just now, so I'm not sure they still exist.

If they do, they supplied systems using 6mm PVC covered, so might be able to sell you some.

Hi Angus, I assume you're aware of the issues with PVC coating and rust on these? If not let us know or search the forum as it's come up a few times.
Cheers

Thanks everyone. This company will supply. It's standard fitting on Dragonflies for the backstays and there have been no failures from rust reported. It's not much of an issue as they are replace frequently anyway.
