The expression is "NO FRIGGIN WITH THE RIGGIN". How much money is saved by buying the materials and spending the time doing it yourself? As indicated previously on this forum some manufactures have begun using cheap ss wire rope from some Asian sources. I use a local rigging shop because they use USA or EU genuine Mil/Aero parts. I believe the person who wrote the previos post recommended that you have all fittings packed with 3M 5200 or a product similar. I actually saved about $50 from the factory prices replacing everything for a Nacra 6.0 and using a local rigging shop. If you are in South Floriad I would recommend Florida hydrolic and rigging. 561-863-7445
