[quote=nacra55]On a 5.5 SL the wires are the same length and the crew (front) goes through the main beam. If I were you, I would measure what you have and get them custom made.
You don't have a stock 5.5 sl or uni. You have an 18sq mast that is longer than a SL or uni and the hound may be in a different spot and the beam has been cut down to 8 or 8.5.
Do you have an extra hole on the mast hound above the hole your using for the shrouds and fore-stay? If so, use it for the trap wires.
If not use a bigger shackle and / or get the wires on each side of the boat made with one thimble. (two trap wires one thimble)
