9/32" would probably be adequate but I would think that the extra cost of jumping up one size would be offset by the convenience of having all the rigging built of the same wire. But then I think like a rigger. :)

But the hayfield I can get for 2/3 price is max 9/32.

Why do you say it's only for 9/32" wire? In an earlier post you said it had a 1/2" clevis pin. That's the critical part.
If you are purchasing a used lever, you will have to get a new swage stud as well. So you can get a stud that fits 1/4" wire, one that fits 9/32" wire or one that fits 5/16" wire all with 1/2" thread.

There is a guy on CF that will sell me a brand new never used bronze hayfield
..This model is already sized for 9/32 wire size. So I assume it already has the stud..I guess I better find out for sure about that ... Yes the pin holes are 1/2 but that has nothing to do with what wire size he said it is currently set up to take..If I have to buy additional stuff I might as well buck up and go for the 5/16 size from a store with a guarantee and everything me thinks .:o

Hope that clears it up a bit.

I will PM you over at CF with my e-mail and cel phone number if you would rather talk that way.

Thanks again Scott
