[C320-list] Life Lines

[Dave Hupe]

Sara-
I haven't done it myself, but I think with the kits they have swaged on as much as they can in advance for you. You will need to look at everything first very closely and figure out where the pre-swaged fitting will go and plan your cuts (for where you will swage on the other end of the cable after running the cut cable through the hole in the stanchion). I am sure they provided excess cable in the lengths you received.
I doubt there was a mistake.  They provided cutting and swaging tools .... Right?
Just "measure twice/cut once".

Before I attempt the install I thought I'd ask if anyone has installed these before.  The part I am confused about is that the instructions say:  "When you receive your kit, it will include several wires.  Each wire will have a pelican hook swaged on one end and a gate eye swaged on the other end.  You will cut each of these wire assemblies somewhere in the middle.  Exactly where the wire is cut depends upon where your aft most lifeline stanchion is installed."

Seriously?? I pay for beautiful new lifelines and I have to "cut each of them somewhere in the middle?!?!?"  

If anyone can walk me through this I'd be forever grateful.
