[Jon Page]

Also to make a suitably-sized fit, pull strands out to reduce the diameter.

>You want the lead end to be pointed to insert into the flange. To
>accomplish this, start with a length of stranded cord and pull numerous
>strands from the non-lead end to maybe 2". Pull numerous other strands
>to 1". Pull the lead end sleeve taut to a point. You get the picture.

>Pull which0-ever various strands to different lengths to create a

>Harden the lead end with your favorite glue in order to thread it through the
>flange yokes.
