    I'm the owner of a vintage cat (Taft Flying-T) I had a rigging cable fail and need to replace all 3. Any advice on vendors or process for measuring accurately?

    Is there a local rigging shop that you can use?
    There are rigging shops up and down the east and west coast...so there might be one close to you.
    ***I try to support local businesses whenever possible!***

    If not, you can send your your broken wires (with fittings) with the specified lengths to West Marine:

    You could also go with Dyneema which accommodates adaptable length and tension.

    Call Murray's Marine in CA and see if they have specs on file. They have been rigging cats for decades.

    Where are you located? You can determine length eye to eye with a couple of finish nails,a long enough board, and a tape measure.
    The last time I needed rigging I went with:
    http://www.fawcettboat.com/
    I have also borrowed the necessary Nicopress tools and crimped my own. Is there a decent sized theater or stage rigging company in your area?
