Lock wire

[Ted]

Any one know where I can get some stainless lock wire from fairly local(manchester). I only need a couple of meters so don't want to buy a big spool.

Nip down to your local fishing shop and ask for 50lb rating or stronger of leader wire its stainless 7 strand and comes with locking bits. Cost's a couple of Quid
In fact i have about 8m's in my tool box you could have, want me to post it too you?

I don't think that's what he's after...

He needs to foster a relationship with an aircraft mechanic!

(Who'd offer some of his supply, but it needs to last him for the rest of his life!)

Or if u need stronger, go see a chandlers and ask for halyard wire (more flexible). They can add loops, with cripmed fittings as well if needed.
