Thanks....didn't expect to be able to pick it up from the sheds...I
should have checked there first.

Hmmmn, I'm not so sure, I think lashing wire is special (well, different
anyway) in that you just loop it through a bracket, twist it back on (and
around) itself and it will hold. I'm not sure that either regular wire rope or
catenary wire will do the same self gripping job. I stand to be corrected but
TV tech groups might have that specialist knowledge, uk.tech.digital-tv
springs to mind but there may be a better choice.
