![]() Hello,
We are all very sorry to hear that your swages aren't, so to speak, up to spec. And glad to hear that the rigger is being proactive about it -- the world benefits when we take responsibility for things. Assuming that your measurements are correct, there's really no realistic choice but to start anew. Your rigger might, understandably, prefer to have you get a third pass; this is not a good idea. At best you might be able to cut the longest wires down to make shorter ones, and then make new longer ones. It is very difficult to keep this type of machine in spec at the best of times, and my experience is that they are always more fatigue-vulnerable than other terminals, so I hope you will consider rotary swages, or compression fittings instead. I understand that you have a lot of labor into this. Remember, please, that what you have done thus far has no bearing on how to proceed from here. Fair leads, Brion Toss |
