m,=0AWish I knew if it was what was supplied by Europa. I=99ve had th

recall the Europa stuff ever being labelled.=C2-=0AMaybe someone else mig
ht be able to clarify. Worst part is, it looks old even though it mightn
=99t be. It reminds me of a Hills Hoist outside clothes line cable, but
I think that is more of an Aussie thing. I actually don=99t have enou
gh Nicopress sleeves now so I=99ll need more of those anyway, so I ca

ed by: Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw268@gmail.com>=0A>=0A>Gidday,=0A>I have gon
e through my fair share of cable, and consequently I have bits everywhere.
I have a roll of cable which appears to be galvanised, or really dull Stain
less Steel, which I believe doesn=99t happen. Why have nice shiny Sta
inless, if it stains. So, the best advice I have to figure out what is what
is to use a magnet. The unknown roll of dull cable I have is extremely att
ractive to the=0A magnet, and the Stainless is only slightly, but still is
drawn towards the magnet on a really long suspended run, like the length in
=0A the aft fuselage, towards the magnet when it is mm away, but it still a
ttracts it. So, this other roll I can only imagine might have been that sup
plied by Europa, and I wouldn=99t know because this roll has no produ
ct code or numbers on it.=C2-=0A>My question, whilst I=99d prefer t
o use Stainless just because it doesn=99t look like it has been in th
e aircraft for a million years, however the gal cable (or whatever it is) I
am told is more durable especially in terms of bends. This is a conservati
ve approach from gliders where control cabling can have acute bends, but we
don=99t have that. So, should I resurrect this roll of cable out of
my waste bin and use it, or should I replace it with Stainless Steel?=0A>Th
anks for any advice or help, and I appreciate all the help I=99ve got
with this sofar.=C2-=0A>Regards=0A>Tony=C2-Renshawhttp://forums.matron
