WM usually has the necessary crimping tool to do nicopress fittings but you'll probably have to send out to get real swaging.
There's probably no need for the swaged fittings. I imagine you could get by just fine with all nicopress. I just feel more comfortable keeping with the original design, so I had WM duplicate one of the old shrouds three times. Jerry mentioned a while ago that shrouds and forestay used to be the same length and that he changed them in order to avoid confusing new owners. I liked the idea of having them all interchangeable so that's how I had them made up. I'm keeping one old shroud that seems ok as a spare.

Standard 1/8" x1x19 galvanized wire is rated at approx 2100lbs, same as 304. 316 is rated approx 1800lbs. Monty rigs are so small It isn't much money to do all SS though. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
