[C320-list] Lifeline hardware specs

[Jack Brennan]

Hello all:

Does anyone know what the specs are for the swages on our lifelines?

My lifelines are looking past their due date, but it seems to me that the pelican hooks, gates, etc., are all in good shape and that I don’t need to buy the entire kit from Catalina Direct. 

So if I could find a way to sources swaged fittings that work with that hardware, I would only need to buy some 7x7 wire and the swages to redo the lifelines. Using one piece of hardware, I did a cursory check at West Marine and couldn’t find anything that matches. 

So, obviously, my next step is to ask whether anyone else has walked this path before me and knows the answer.
