Did anyone buy one? is it possible to get measurements and pics of construction?
Can't be many people with correct tow cables...

Hi, that cable picture i took of some original unused British sets I came across, I had six sets and sold 2, I wont be able to measure them until next month.

Does anybody know if there is a modern equivalent for the round bull rings? Or better yet some originals that cold be had?

As you'll see from my diagrams, the Aust tow cable has elongated 'bull rings', rather than round ones - just one of the differences between the WD and Aust manufactured cables. It would be interesting to do a comparison to see just how many differences there were between them. I suspect the swagged ends on the cable might also be different, but can't quite see it on the images posted thus far.

The cables in posts 2 and 3 both have spliced ends not swaged as on the one Mike examined. One is whipped with soft wire and the other with hempen string.The grey colour referred to is galvanising.
