Stan,Those acoustical paneled ceilings that you see in most office buildings?Those are supported by 12 ga wire (about 0.080"). Let me know if that's whatyou're looking for.Gary Boothe

I am planning a trip back to my home country.While websurfing for some locations to visit, I found this one;http://www.ijsboerderijoldepietepol.nl/History reads that this farm orginally was owned by the Pietenpol family and sold when leaving for America.The current family owns it for 5 genaration now.Odds are likely this was owned by Bernards Parent or grand Parents.Currently operates as a dairy farm / creamery.HansNX15KV________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ferrules for .090 hard wire

To the best of my knowledge ferrules for hard wire are not available. Making yourown might be a problem because the furls consist of spiral wound hard wirebut have an oval interior not round. However, I bet some of the antique restorationplaces have had make them when building Jennies or other old airplanes.You could try one of these shops. If that does not work out, you can always dowhat most people do, and that is substitute 1/8th inch cable for the hard wire.--------ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Take the wire and on a lath make a long spring by forming it over a round mandrel.Then cut to the length you need. To flatten or oval it, just use a vise tosqueeze it. Make sure you adjust the inside diameter before to allow for fittingthe two .09 wires in it before you flatten.Any small machine shop could do this for you if you do not have a lath. If youlook at some back issues of the Buckeye Pietenpol Newsletter, you can find anarticle my Dad and I did on this very topic.Good Luck!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: I need some help please
