correct method for securing spreader ends

[Walt Lawrence]

Hi all

Just replaced my spreaders with new Lefiels and I would like to know what the concensus of opinion on securing the outboard ends to the strouds is....

Wired on I suspect, but how does this take into account movement inherent in the tuning process....

This site is the best...

I use Monel rigging wire. This will not bind on the rigging usually. Don't forget to use spreader boots or wrap the Monel with rigging tape.
