Tom,I don't recall two sleeves being used anywhere. I pull-tested all structural cables to over 1000 lbs for pre-stretching and sleeve strength.Regards,TomOn Dec 3, 2008, at 9:44 AM, TOM STINEMETZE wrote:> >Nice one Ben -- here is the way I skinned the cat.>> >Tom Bernie> >Gloucester, Mass> Tom: Very nice looking exits!

Others have put this question to rest, but, just for clarification, the"Swage-it" tool that ACS sells says, ".when using 1x19 cable, use 2 sleevesat each end." Most of us are using 7x19, so, reading between the lines, itappears that 1 sleeve is adequate on other types of cable.Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, working on fuselage (endless metal parts!)(12 ribs down.) _____
