Tow cables

Welcome to FSM and the armour forum
Just ask shermanfreak about questions concerning the sherman.

Welcome, Stuart!
you can also check in the hardware store for picture hanging wire.
it comes both braided & twisted and in a variety of sizes.
it is pretty soft, so it will take a bend.

Welcome Stuart!
ei robert, that's a nice build!

To prevent string from unraveling I raid the Wive's Quilt tool box, she keeps a liquid in there just for that purpose. It is designed to prevent the edges of cut cloth from fraying.

It does stiffen the fabric a bit, but I think that would be rather in your favour for what you are trying to achieve.

Welcome to the Forum.

wellcome to the armor forum,.

Welcome to the forum, Stuart!

Welcome to the FSM armor forum, Stuart 72. Glad to have you. I agree with Robert's solution for your cables. Hope to see your posts often.

Ahh ... first post ... welcome to FSM Stuart72. Good to have you join us.

When I build my recovery vehicle I used heavy upholstery thread. You should be able to find it at any shop that recovers furniture. I comes in many colours and I went with black which makes things easier. To prevent it from unraveling, just pull it across a candle, the wax will keep it nice and tight.

Here's a pic of mine.
