Any alternatives to Jimmy Green worth looking at?

Don't think anybody else offers the same type of service on line, but any rigger will make up the wires for you to pattern or your measurements. However, the latter puts all the risk on you to measure correctly. In your situation, taking the wires out to your boat and fitting yourself you might want to go down the route of swaged fittings at the mast end and Sta Lok at the bottom and have the wire made overlength to cut to length on site.

Yes Thanks, that was the plan.

GS has a swaging service too: https://www.gsproducts.co.uk/builder

Or buy the fittings online and take them to either a yacht rigger or an architectural rigging company with a roller swager, for example: Wire rope swaging service. Talurit ferrule and roller swaging. Workshop and mobile service available (you may have to supply the wire rope too as architectural riggers mostly work in A2 (304) stainless, but some may have A4 in stock.

Unless you can fit it all in your hold baggage, cost of getting it from UK with carriage + duty/VAT etc. will likely exceed local supply.

I've not had 'rigging' replaced lately but I have recently had all my guard wires replaced. My local rigger did it for approx 60% of the Greens price which also included all the fitting.

Thanks, very useful. the 306 wire rope appears to be half the JG price . their swaged on eye terminal is massively cheaper and their turnbuckles also. I have heard that there are quality issues with some of this stuff made for fencing etc but it seems worth exploring further.

I came across this site when I was looking a while ago. Prices seem very keen.

Thanks to Yngmar for the link below. I have sourced a trial stay with them at under 1/2 the JG cost. The specs for the wire and fittings look correct but we will wait and see what they look like in the flesh!

I've had rigging from both s3i and GS in the past and been happy with both. I'm sure it will be fine.
